DEfault Printer

I added a new printer to my system and now it seems to be the default. I
want another printer to be the default but cannot find a means of changing
the it. I know I have seen this somewhere but cannot remember where the
setting is. Any information would be appreciated.

Marv

Click on the Start button and in the Start Search box type: Printers

When the Printers icon appears at the top of the Start Menu, click on it to open.
Then right-click on the printer you wish to set as default and select
"Set as Default Printer".

That was easy enough. I was trying to do it through Control Panel.

Thanks.

Go to "Start" - "Printers"
right-click on the printer you want, and select "Set as Default Printer"

You can do it in CP, also. Double-click Printers, right-click
the one you want, and set as default - same as described by
Carey, below.
