• Set up a default printer in Windows Gallery

  It is possible to select a default printer in the Windows Gallery?  I configured the printer I want by default in Control Panel and other programs have updated this change (i.e. Word now goes first on my default printer).  However, in the Windows Gallery, change seems no impact.

  Is there such a thing as a "default printer" in the Gallery?  It's just list all available printers?

  -Sandy

  Hi Sandy,

  Please post on the forum.

  Windows Photo Gallery is a part of the Vista and it uses some default printer you choose under printers in your control panel.  You can try uninstalling the printer completely and reinstall it again.

  Hope that helps, please post back and we do know.

• 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.

  I had the same problem with a Canon iP 4600. He has shown, but I couldn't take it as default printer.

  My solution: I changed the USB port. Which might work for one or the other. Good luck.

• Default printer setup

  How can I make new printer stay enabled by default.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-your-default-printer

  Change your default printer

  If more than one printer is connected to your computer, you can choose one to use by default. Choose the printer you will use most often. In this way, when you print using Windows or your programs, you won't have to select a printer each time. You can change the default printer at any time and you can still select other printers for occasional printing.

  1. Open printers by clicking the start , by clicking on Control Panel, on hardware and sound and then click Printers.

  2. Right-click the printer that you want to use and then click on set as default printer. A check mark appears on the printer icon to mark it as default printer.

• Is it possible to have windows to automatically select a spare printer by default when the selected default printer is off line?

  I use a laptop and move between two locations each with its own printer.  Whenever I move, I have to change the default printer by opening printers & faxes from the control panel.  Is it possible to have windows to automatically select a spare printer by default when the selected default printer is off line?

  Hi Tom,

  If the default printer is not in offline mode, it will detect the different printer but it will not be a default one.

• Windows Live Photo Gallery does not use default printer

  When I print from Windows Live Photo Gallery it always by the incorrect printer default.  By default, it uses the fax printer.  All other characters to the right printer progames be default.  And under priners Control Panel, it shows the green check mark on the printer default right.  If I change to a photo printer, it prints very well.  But then the next image always defaults to the fax printer.  I use Vista 32 bit.  The version of Windows Live Photo Gallery is 14.0.8064.206.  The printer is a HP C7180.  And I have the latest version of the driver.

  Is there a way to get Windows Live Photo Gallery to use the default printer? Thanks for your help. Harry Karr

  I think that the part Ne03 refers to a network or shared printer that is connected to your machine.  For what it's worth, I have this entry in my registry.

  HP Photosmart C4380 series, winspool, Ne02: so your entry (to me) seems pretty good.

  Have you clicked on your HP printer and select the option "Run As Administrator" / Properties / Security and checked permissions, such that manage printers, records management, to ensure that everything is all right in there?

  I'm still thinking possible "Bug", but are happy to be contradicted.

• Windows Vista - default printer does not have a default

  From: Freddie Kang
  

  I have implemented several printers and have an assigned as the "default" printer network printer I noticed that this status of 'default' for this printer does not remain so after I stop and restart. It seems to default to the fax printer. I then have to reset the printer selected as 'default' to be able to print. This not happens whenever I stop - sometimes, the default printer is as default.

  Someone at - it similar experiences? Solution to the problem?

  Thank you.

  Best regards, S.F. Kang

  From: Cari (MS - MVP)

  It will default to the first he concluded after opening session, so in your case, I think the connection to the network is taken longer, that so he finds the fax first.
