default printer continues to change without known reason

Continues to change my default printer.  I change the printer I want and the next thing I know it's a different printer.

I sometimes print from a laptop with Windows 7, but this change occurs even if I haven't printed anything the laptop so it is difficult to see how it would affect things.

Anyone have any ideas?

It's for an older version, but you should get in the right zone for the parameters.

  • lost windows media without known reason player

    I very recently used SPAMfighter, since I finally used Windows Media Player.

    Hi Bartlett_93,

    ·         What operating system is installed on your computer?

    ·         What are you referring when you say "have lost the player windows media without known reason '?

    Follow the steps below and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1: I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall Windows Media Player using the Windows features turn on or off.

    See the following for more information Microsoft article:

    Turn on or off Windows features

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-features-on-or-off

     

    Note: Windows Media Player should be included under multimedia functions. Uncheck the same and restart the computer to uninstall WMP. Rechecking and restarting the computer would be re - install WMP.

    Method 2: There might be some third-party at the origin of the problem application to happen, that's why I suggest you put your machine in a clean boot state and check.

  • Default network printer continues to change in XPS Document writer.

    Original title: default printer

    I set my default printer to a network printer. The next time I do something he returned again to the XPS Document Writer. How can I stop this.

  • IP address of the printer continues to change

    A large part of the time that my wireless printer is offline compared to computers on my local network, because IP address has been changed to a value other than what the computer thinks it should be.  So I have to figure out what is the IP address of the printer, and then change the printer on the PC port to point to the correct address.  If this happened only rarely, or if I could easily remember the steps I have to take to remedy, I suppose that this would not be a big deal.  But it happens a lot and I am old and alzheimery.  So my question is: How can I get the router to assign the same IP address to the printer, all the time?

    I have a LinkSys WRT54G and just updated the firmware to V4.21.1.  I went through all the settings on the router via http://192.168.1.1 but don't see anything that would reserve specific addresses for specific devices.  Is this possible?  I need to have the DHCP Server enabled, because some devices come and go on this network.  Devices that are not controlled by the DHCP server can co-exist with devices that are?

    TIA
    * beep *.

    Your printer must have a STATIC IP address, and Yes, the DHCP server on your router remains active.

    Open the page of the http://192.168.1.1 router

    Go to status then LAN, click the DHCP clients table.

    Find the IP address of your printserver.

    Now, log in to your printserver page

    You can see a static or fixed IP address. Assign an IP address, but not of this range from 100 to 149

  • HP's envy touchsmart: default speakers continues to change

    I'm a 15tQuad TouchSmart laptop hooked up to a Dell monitor. I always keep the laptop closed except when that I start or when the monitor goes to sleep and I need to wake up again. My sound worked very well and knew that the default was the audio device on the laptop until I updated audio driver a few days ago. Now, whenever I start or if I have to raise the lid to wake the computer, it changes the speakers by default my monitor Dell who doesn't even have a speakers on it, so I have no sound until I have change the default value to the speakers of the laptop.

    I thought I would return to its old drivers but this option is grayed out.

    I did a repair for the sound and had a message saying that a change could not have taken effect if Windows fixed, but the problem continues to be.

    I use Windows 10 and have been since its release so I don't know if it is a Windows problem or not, because everything was going fine until I updated the audio drivers.

    Hello @sheryltoo,

    Thanks for the quick response!

    Have you had any luck with the system restore?  Your laptop has a touch screen?  Or is that your external monitor?  Based on the number of your product, what is your laptop: HP ENVY 15 t-j100 Quad Edition CTO Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR)

    Is that what you downloaded the Audio driver: sp63555.exe

    If the system restore did not work, then try using the Audio driver for Windows 8.1: sp63407.exe

    Let me know how it goes.

    Kind regards!

  • 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.

  • How to change the default print settings

    My settings print continues to change 50% print size.  How to set the default value to 100%?

    Hello Bill,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    It seems that what you want to do is to save your settings as a preset favorite. Not exactly define value by default, but easier than manually make changes every time you print. Take a look at this article to find out how that is done.

  • Who else needs continue to change Raster Vector balance Slider to print without ghosting?

    I work in many different locations, and each color laser printer (Canon, Minolta, Zerox) has the same problem when transparency is a document .ai. The document has a slightly different color in the vicinity with transparency (for example: placed image, blend mode, drop shadow effect).

    To fix this, we change the settign overprinting and transparency when printing to raster.

    Picture 1.png

    Y at - it a script or a way to automate this do this for all documents? I can change this is the default value for Illustrator? I do not print on inkjet printers a lot, this problem exists with all printers?

    Hi Mike, you can save a preset print, after you change the pixelation/vectorization balance and/or other options, give it a name and use it when you need it.

    or, if you are more adventurous and want to change [default] print illustrator preset, close, use a text editor to open the file 'Predefined transparencies Aplatissements' in you 'Illustrator CS5 Settings\en_US"folder and look for the line

    / Balance of raster-vector\ flattener\ AI10\ 75

    to take

    / Balance of raster-vector\ flattener\ AI10\ 0

    /collection2 {.. runoff in the "Preset" [medium resolution]}

    save it, close the file, and then restart illustrator.

  • How to change the default printer in Thunderbird

    I have access to several printers that I use in different places. I have to manually change the choice of printer with each e-mail letter I want to print when I change my location when you use thunderbird. I already changed the default printer in my printers folder. All other programs, including Firefox accept the choice of the default printer. How can I get Thunderbird to accept my default without delete all THE OTHER PRINTERS?

    The menu bar, select Tools-Options-Advanced-General
    Select the configuration editor
    Promise to be careful
    Enter the following in the search field: print_printer
    When this line appears, right-click and select reset.

    See if she resumes the new default printer after you restart Thunderbird.

    No menu bar? Press the ALT key.

  • How can I PERMANENTLY change the default printer to Adobe PDF files using my physical printer instead of SIMPLY printing a pdf in a new PDF file?

    Whenever I restart Adobe Reader DC default printer is automatically reset to print any PDF file to the "print to PDF file" as the default printer.  How can I change the "default printer" always default to be my physical default printer, instead of "print of PDF?»»»

    PRINTING a document which is already a pdf file to a pdf file is absolutely ridiculous and stupid for the following reasons:

    1. If you want to save a document that is already a pdf in different PDF file, you can use the function "Save as" in the file menu.
    2. If the user select "Print" to PRINT a file they ther NOT try to SAVE a file.  (We'll give credit to the average user to understand the difference between PRINTING and SAVING of a document).
    3. Most of the users do not need to duplicate the storage of a document on their drives to computer
    4. Users of mobile devices, by the fact that they have already downloaded the PDF file have already used storage space of EXTREMELY valuable and LIMITED memory with the download of origin and most certainly so NOT to use more than this space such a resource limited printing!

    As an engineer, hardware and software for the past 40 + years to really understand the value of making easy allow the end user to change the configuration of something as simple as the setting for the default printing device to use!

    For the record, I searched the online help as well as the forum Adobe Reader community for a thread that explains how to change the printer by default so that whenever I starts the Adobe service it will automatically use the printer default physical connected to my computer to "PRINT" any PDF document.  If I missed something that deals with this problem please point me about it, if no such band rolling exists, then please tell me before making this change.

    Thank you for your help in this matter!

    Sincerely,

    Larry A. Coates
