  tgwright,

  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). If you are not familiar with the registry or have never been here before that I would suggest seeking additional support in some way (local / Microsoft IT / PC repair service, etc.).

  Good luck!

• 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...

• 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.

• How to set default printing shortcut or change standard ones

  I have a LaserJet 2420d with the PCL 5 driver.  Whenever I print, it uses the default paper shortcut that is "General printing every day."  This built-in shortcut specifies a type of "Pre-printed", so the printer breaks waiting for pre-printed paper inserted until I press the check mark button.

  I can create a custom form that has solved the problem, but I don't know how to make my custom form by default for the printer.  Furthermore, if I could change the type of paper for the 'General everyday printing' and save it, it would solve the problem.

  So how set my default paper form shortcut or change the standard one?

  Furthermore, the who Devil set by default to use paper pre-printed paper?

  Open your printers and Faxes folder, right click on the printer icon and select Printing Options. and any changes made here will be defined as a default value.

• Cannot set default Acrobat 'open with' in Windows 7

  Since the installation of CD player, I couldn't set Acrobat XI as the default program to open pdf files. I do the 'open with' for each file, and given that I create materials, I almost always want to open with the complete program. Microsoft instructions do not work. I can't find out how to reconfigure the Acrobat products to replace the default player. If someone has an answer, I'd love to hear it. Otherwise, I'll have to uninstall the CD player.

  Thank you.

  Mary Ann

  Hello

  Please open any document with Acrobat XI.

  Go to edit > Preferences > General > click on the button below "Select as default PDF Manager". and click OK.

  Restart Acrobat and your Acrobat XI is defined as default PDF reader.

• Cannot set default to "show items from subfolders.

  I like to display several folders and subfolders at one time... and discovers another group of folders and subfolders, etc etc etc... and to do that I constantly view > see the subfolders points, because the command doesn't "stick".  I have looked around and don't see a way to "Show items from subfolders" by default. Does anyone know a way to do it?

  Thanks for any help.

  Unfortunately, the idea will not work for my situation.  I have several

  Collections of folders with a former work, Illlustrator files, Photoshop files,

  PDF files... and within each folder is hundreds of other files.

  Hi.,.

  Your sentence on the collections of records make me think. Do you have

  already tried to create collections for this? You might want to experiment a

  little at first, but you can create a collection for a main folder by using the view all the

  subfolders and with this result, create a collection for this folder. You

  don't have to navigate back to this folder using flat view, simply click on

  the collection and should be all there

  You can also refine them down to type of file using Panel filter, if you want

  so.

  Just a thought...

• HP LaserJet Pro MFP M125-M126: cannot set the default printer

  quick response is appreciated,

  Hi @darshan9 ,

  I see that you have problems affecting the default printer for users and you cannot print over the network.
  I'd love to help you.

  Do you mean the configuration of individual computers with the printer on the network users, or a computer with multiple users?

  You have administrative rights on the computer to make changes?

  What is the name and the product number of your printer? How can I find my model number or product number?

  Download and run the Print and Scan doctor. It will diagnose the problem and could solve it automatically. http://www.hp.com/go/tools > using HP diagnostic tools for printers under Windows HP.

  I suggest you to check if you have another account user or an administrative account.

  I also suggest to create a new user account and check if you are able to set the default printer.

  Create a user account. Create a user account.

  If you're still having problems, run the Fixit tool. Diagnose and automatically fix problems printing and printer.

  What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (she print or scan, error messages)

  If there is anything else I can help you, let me know.

  Good day!
  Thank you.

  Hi Aaron,

  I appreciate your efforts to solve the problem.

  What is the brand and model of the printer?

  This problem can occur if the wires that are not connected correctly, due to corruption drivers, drivers incompatible, if print spooler service is not started, because of problems with the printer and the printer, missing updates settings.

  Method 1:
  I suggest you to run the fixit and check if it helps.

  Diagnose and automatically fix problems printing and printer
  http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/printing_problems/

   

  Method 2:
  If the problem persists, I suggest you temporarily disable the security software of the computer and check.

  Disable the antivirus software.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

   

  Method 3:
  If the problem persists, I suggest you try the procedure described in the article and see if it helps.

• I can't print from powerpoint, excel, adobe reader software. Selection of the default printer does not stick

  Lenovo thinkpad T410s, stock, windows 7 64, ms office 2007, adobe reader, all day

  Cannot print to a PictBridge compatible printer (including print them as pdf, xps, etc.) of powerpoint, excel and adobe (at least). This is what happens when I try to print:
  -excel, I get the error "current printer is unavailable". When I say ok, it appears a box displays the available printers (updated from the printer list and shows new printers if I install, removes those I removed/uninstalled), but I chose one, say ok and it just goes back to the same error
  -powerpoint: I get the error "no printer is installed.
  -Word: printing, but it does not show a default printer (drop initially empty). the list of printers (once that you pull-down) remains up-to-date
  -adobe reader software: poster old printer printer list and the default is not updated. When I select and press on print, it gives error ('no page selected')

  I have read that sometimes happens when there is no default printer selected. It's true. I select a default printer, but it doesn't seem to stick. When I run the troubleshooter to fix - it, he confirmed that he could not set default printer (and then gave me some unnecessary insulting suggestions, like going to the site of the printer manufacturer, or fix - it)

  I uninstalled reinstalled all printer drivers except the default virtual printers (printing of the document, ms fax, pdf etc.). I checked that the spooler is running (in services)

  What can I do to recover the printing feature?

  It seems as if it was a corrupt user profile. In the new user profile things seem to work. Thank you. Still a lot of work just to work in the new profile, but not quite as bad as from scratch
