Set the default printer

If you have more than one printer available, you can select which will be your default printer. You may want to pick the printer you use most often.

You need administrative privileges on the system to set the default printer.

  1. Go to the desktop and start typing Printers.

  2. Click Printers.

  3. Depending on your system, you may have to press Unlock in the top right corner and type in your password when prompted.

  4. Click the settings button next to the printer.

  5. Select the Use Printer by Default checkbox.

When you print in an application, the default printer is automatically used, unless you choose a different printer.
