• Cannot set the default printer.

  I'm having a problem with one of the users on my setup of server companies. She is unable to set a default printer and cannot print from Excel 2010 to all. However, while on the terminal even when I login as administrator, everything works perfectly. I tried to set a default value manually through the registry, I tried all of the scripts that I can find, I tried to uninstall and reinstall the printers. I don't know where to go from here. Any advice?

  It's a 2003 server.
  The terminal is running XP.
  Printers are all non-local network.
  However, the result is the same for a local printer.

• 709, the default printer error

  Hello!

  Windows 7 laptop Lenovo, Officejet 4500 connected by a LAN (not wireless) computer

  Test-Page work, works of Scanner, printer installed and working.

  Try to change the default printer to "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" to "HP508E0 (HP Officejet 4500 G510g-m)" using "Set as default printer" "Dvices and printer. Result: "operation could not be completed (error 0 x 00000709).» Double check the name of the printer and make sure that the printer is connected to the network. »

  The name of the printer that I cannot influence. So I can't see what to check.

  Printer prints, so I guess that the network connection is established.

  Watch HP Solution Center drivers etc are up to date.

  Windows troubleshooting utility suggests to set my default printer. But he also fails to do so without giving a reason.

  How to set my default printer HP4500?

  Thanks, best regards

  Gordon!

  Thanks again for your efforts. Indeed, I managed to re - install printer drivers. And this time I had more luck, all three printers more XPS writer seems to work again. Unfortunately no change on the default printer, always RC = 0 x 709.

  While waiting for the installation procedure, I was searching Microsoft knowledge base and found one interesting article: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/unable-to-setup-default-printer-error-message/2e14443e-a829-4400-b155-5b87494b03ce?msgId=ab4e7395-e094-4205-91c3-7dfb644711bb&page=2

  Take care to proceed to the second page...

  The procedure described in this document has worked in my case: for each defined user to logon Windows I had to change an entry in the Windows registry manually:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows

  Nota bene: first change the permissions for the key, and then change "Microsoft XPS Writer" to "HP Officejet 4500 G510g-m" in the value of the key field. All other parts of the field value has remained unchanged.

  The change is effective immediately, the default printer is now my HP4500. Test was successful!

  Well, I got the impression that this isn't a nuisance HP but a general limitation of Windows. From my experience, Linux and HPLIP seem much more convinient for the inexperienced user.

  See you soon

  2 go to the print module

  3. create a new print template and give it a name meaningful (for example model of printer - A4 landscape)

  4. click on Page layout (it would be more logical if he actually read the Print Setup)

  5. choose the model of the printer (for example Epson 3800) in list menu dropdown name printer - paper set size and orientation

  6. click on the properties button and configure the driver Epson as required (for example Page Size, the printer settings, etc.), and then click OK twice to close the properties of the printer and the print dialog settings

  7. right click on the model that you created in step 3 above

The next time I rebooted, Windows "found new hardware", but Firefox remembered the laser as a default printer.

  I encountered the same problem with my HP F4280 All in one and figured out what the problem was.  I am using Windows 7 then the following steps work for this OS well its probably similar for Vista users.

  Click the Pearl icon (Start), and then click devices and printers

  Double-click your printer icon to open the HP Center

  Under Printer Actions, click on customize it your printer link

  Click the Advanced tab

  Click on the button to default print (lower-left)

  If you haven't already done so, create a custom shortcut in changing one of the default settings of HP and then choose Save as

  Choose your shortcut in the list, and then press the button apply

  Press OK and you get back to the center of HP

  Close the center of HP (X in the upper right corner)

  However, this is where I ran into problems... If the program you are printing from is currently open (Photoshop in my case) the default print settings will NOT change until you restart the program. Restart your program (Web browser, Photoshop, paint etc) and now your default print settings should be updated to use your custom default shortcut.

  I hope this will help some of you who have had problems.
