Cannot delete default printer WINDOW XPX DOCUMENT WRITER

I have Windows 8 OS. I installed the printer Laser Canon LBP 2900 B on my system. Surprisingly, the printer available only in Word format. (Even in word, Windows XPX document printer is selected as the default printer. I can't find Canon in the list).

In Excel or print PDF files, I have no option Canon drop to the bottom of the window. Whenever I have to register in as long as file .oxps then open it and print by canon.

What I do for printer canon link to excel and Adobe Acrobat now?

Thanks in advance!

Try this:

  1. Click the button start at the bottom left of the screen, and then choose Control Panel.
  2. Go to "Hardware and Sound" and then choose "devices and printers".
  3. Find Canon printer in the list, right click and choose "set as default".

    Thanks for the additional info. With the doctor print and scan does not locate a corrupted software/driver problems its time to turn to the operating system itself. Others who have had similar problems with the same error indicate a corrupted registry key, the origin of the problem:

    Beware these solutions indicate the change of information in registry (very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing).

  • Cannot set default printer in Windows Vista.

    Hello
    My computer still works fine until lately something's happened to Windows Vista all of a sudden. One day I put on the computer and found that the left side of the menu 'start' all deleted, and the content on the right side of the Panel is still there. But then I found that I cannot print a document PDF and Excel, and the error message reads: "Before you print a document, you must install a printer." I have a HP Color laser printer connected to it since and it still works well. I can always print Word document (unless I have to manually select HP printer each time the dialog box I have ever had to do before), but cannot print PDF or Excel. On the 'control panel', the HP printer icon is still there, but it is not set as default printer, as it has always been. And when I tried to set up as a default printer, the error message reads: "can't set default printer.

    Can anyone help? Thank you very much.

    I would like to begin uninstalling the printer, restart and reinstall the printer to determine if that solves the problem...

  • Windows 7 - cannot delete a print job.

    I have two problems with my Windows 7 computer to print to my hp LaserJet 4 printer P.   This is the first of the two.  My 4 p of hp printer has a standard printer to the rear connector of the it, and I have in the past plugged into my computer printer LPT1 outlet.  My computer hp Pavilion (a1520n), however, does not a LPT1 port, so I use a USB-to-printer cable as the way to send jobs to print on my printer.   I've never had this problem before with this printer when he ran with Windows 98, and Windows XP (with LPT1-to-printer cable).

    (1) first problem: Windows 7 will not delete my print jobs, or only partially removes them.  When I go to "Devices and printers" and then click on my icon of the printer hp - 4 p and then click on the "See what's printing" on it, I get a window up, which shows print jobs (same window base as in XP, other earlier operating systems).  I then click on the print job I want to delete and then click on ' printer-> cancel all Documents. "  Windows 7 does not delete it.

    I read the other posts in this forum for the removal of print jobs and in any case, I need to do something extraordinary, and it only works for a print job - so it must be done for each print job I want to remove.   Things like type a series of commands in the immediate window, or go delete everything in the printer spooler file, and then restart the computer.  Although they operate (allegedly), they seem to be extremely clumsy ways to have this address for each print job fails.

    Is there a better, easier, way to do this - as defined a parameter in Windows 7 to a different value?   Anyone has any ideas on this?

    Thank you.

    Hello Sheyenne,

     
    Thank you for an assignment in Microsoft communities.
    I can understand how frustrating it can be when things do not work as expected.
     
    The probable cause of this problem could be due to use a parallel port for the USB adapter for printing.
    This is because the printer works on another USB port where it has been defined, or you are using a USB hub.
     
    You can solve this extra Pages S1M printing problem by disabling bidirectional support:
     
    1. press Windows + X key together on the keyboard button.
    2. Select Control Panel.
    3. do the small icons display and select devices and printers.
    4 right-click right your printer, choose Properties
    5. go to the ports tab.
    6. click on Enable bidirectional support.
    Note: Your printer must be switched on before printing.

    These steps stop print extra page "S1M.

    To delete and remove the impression spooler steps:

    1. click on the Windows button in the lower left corner of the screen. Select "Control Panel", then "hardware and sound" then on "printers".

    2. double-click on the icon of the printer to which you sent the print job. Find the print job from the list that opens, right-click on it and select "Cancel".
    3. press the button 'Cancel' on the control panel of the printer if employment still doesn't come off the spool. Turn the printer off, and then on to see if that removes the print job.

    4. clear the whole spooler by clicking the Windows icon, and then type "command". Right-click on "Command prompt", then click "Run as Administrator".

    5. Type "net stop spooler" and press "enter." Type "del % systemroot%\System32\spool\printers\*/Q" and then press "Enter".

    6. Type "net start spooler", then press "enter". Type 'exit' and press 'Enter' to close the command prompt window.

  • Cannot have DEFAULT printer using Windows 8

    I installed the network printer device, which is attached to another computer, and also has a direct network connection to the local subnet.  When I'm on the system myself, I can do what I want.  But, if my wife is recorded so it cannot be the default device.  In fact the device does not even appear for it in WORD.  When you check the devices and look at the printer, the device is here.  When you right click on the printer, the list is very short and does not include "Set as default printer".  She can even watch the print queue.  She and I are the directors of PC.  So, she should have the right to do what she must do.  Please help me understand what the problem with Windows 8.

  • Cannot delete the file - Windows 7 cannot check location

    Hello all,.

    After the upgrade to Windows 7, I tried to delete the Windows.old folder. However, I encountered a problem; There are two files in this folder that Windows 7 can not remove. When I try to delete them, I get an error message stating that Windows cannot locate the two files and it asks me to check their location. Is there a way to get around this?

    Thank you

    Garrick

    When the above does not work, try this:

    1. click on windows orb
    2. type cmd in the search box
    3. right click on cmd in the results menu and click on run as administrator
    4. control windows opens, must be in the directory c:\windows\system32
    5. go into c:\ do this type cd... until you reach c:\
    6 goto directory where the file to be deleted. example c:\windows.old\users
    7 type rd /s (directory name)
    8 get invites to delete y/n type y and press on enter

    After successful removal, you can check the windows Explorer and see that the file is missing.

    Example, I have a directory on my c drive named windows.old, under windows.old that I have a user directory and then several subdirectories, 1 directory happens to be named bill. For some reason any windows can not find this place and will not delete the folder. I then who follow the previous steps and remove this directory.

    So, in step 6, I would like to c:\windows.old\users goto, I then head to step 7 and enter the rd/s Bill and enter. Follow step 8 and the file is missing.

    Let us know if that helps.

  • Cannot delete file titles in recent documents once the file has been deleted

    When I delete a file in Word or Excel 2007, I'm not able to remove the name of the file in the recent Documents list.  When I right-click, I am not given the choice to delete.  When I click on the name of the file, I get a message saying the file is not found, but I'm not able to remove the display.  I asked teachers in vocational school education 2007 and even asked a HP technical support, when I got on the phone for another problem.  No one has the answer.

    Can anyone help?

    This is a feature of Word 2007.  You can't delete a file of recent Documents.
    Work around: pin any other files in recent Documents, save a new file and unlock files.  This will push the unwanted list file.

  • Cannot delete the printer from the "printers".

    OfficeJet 6500 a Plus.  Connected by cable to the xp machine.  Has been used in wireless mode successfully for more than a year of a machine Win 8. Some how it did not work, but I could not remove the window 'printer '. I had to download and reload the driver to use the printer.  But I can not yet remove the printer "old."   The new printer is named "HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z (network).  The old printer is called "HP7F8C60 (HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z). Can't use it or remove it. Thank you.

    Thank you for your quick response.  I could just delete it by clicking on delete.  I went through the following sequence messy and finally had success.

    I have a right-click on properties and tried each element. I got error on each of them, messages which are the most common response (80%), "printer can not be deleted. Double check the name, and make sure that the printer is connected to the network'.» Sometimes, I would get an error code. (Mentally I was not ready to dig that right now.)

    I could not change the name, or connect to any network. I tried for a half hour and failed several times on each of the elements. Then I clicked on 'Shortened' again (I don't know why!). This time, it reduces the number of points on the 'properties' of 10 points to 5 or 6. The item "Refresh" remained. I clicked "Refresh", and the printer has disappeared! I do not remember the sequence, or how many times I tried each item, but I have to hit the right combination and when, because the wrong printer icon has disappeared, and the good printer works.  Thanks for everyone's interest and help.
