Photosmart will not be the default printer
Photosmart all-in-one cannot do as the default printer. There is the yellow triangle with the! symbol, but when I have trouble shooting with the HP software it says there is no problem. The drivers are up to date. This printer is the default printer for several years. It is a recent event. Have Windows 7 again for several years. The only change to the computer has been installed Office 2013 several weeks ago. I'm puzzled.
pvenamon,
At this stage what I would do, is try to uninstall completely from all of the HP software for your printer and then reinstall the software from the download in the link below.

My printer will not remove the last print job
My printer will not remove the last print job and does not meet what I already found on internet support
Hello
If you haven't done so already, try the following.
From the desktop, hold down the Windows key and press R. In the run window, type services.msc and press to enter. Scroll down to the print spooler service, right click and select Properties, then click the Stop button. Now search for C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS, then delete the work inside this folder - you may need to click a command prompt to get the authority to open the PRINTERS folder.
Restart the computer and you should find that the document has been deleted.
Kind regards

Why print does not use the default printer?
I have two main printers to use at home and whenever I print a web page, Firefox will automatically print using the default printer. If I select the default printer from the drop-down list, it works very well. I wouldn't select the printer by default every time I want to print.
Try of the reset described here for print.print_printer preference:

Why the Pages and Numbers do not use the default printer?
Recently, I added a second printer to my home network and selected as the default printer. But when I try to print, the correct printer is selected in the dialog box print only part of the time and apparently depends on which application to print from. I believe that Safari, Mail, Contacts and calendar properly use the default printer, then the Pages and Numbers and instead do not the old printer unless I have change the selection in the dialog box impression every time I print.
How can I get Pages and Numbers to correctly use the right default printer?
The problem that is happening on my machine (OS X El Capitan 10.11.2, 5.6.1 Pages and numbers 3.6.1) and my wife (running Maverick 10.7.5, Pages ' 08 3.0.3 and Numbers ' 08 1.0.3) and has persisted through a reboot. The old printer is a HP OfficeJet Pro 8600, accessible via WiFi. The new printer is a Brother MFC-7340 connected by USB to a Time Capsule that is accessible via WiFi.
In the print... dialog you select
View the Presets...
in the menu presets. In the sheet drops down, uncheck the box marked
Reset the Menu Presets for "Default settings" after printing
Click OK. Then select

Hello
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.
The problem may be due to reasons like print, of any conflict of third party software, virus or malware etc. settings. I suggest you run the printer Troubleshooter and verify.
Step 1: A convenience store is an automated tool that can find and automatically fix problems with your PC.
Troubleshooting of the printer
Step 2: If the problem persists, I suggest you perform the clean boot in order to avoid any conflict of third party software.
Put your system to the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.
How to perform a clean boot in Windows
Note: see 'How do I reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting' to reset the computer starts normally after troubleshooting.
Step 3: Run Microsoft Safety Scanner to find and remove viruses or malware.
The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
Note: Data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.

HP1510 0 x 00000709 can not set as the default printer
I installed my new HP1510 printer on computer with Windows 7, but I can not set as default in Control Panel printer, get error message 0 x 00000709. This means I can't print a PDF file as my previous printer, which I uninstalled it, is always shown as default in Adobe Reader. I can print emails ok. Please help as I bought the computer to print a PDF file!
Hello lanto17,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you cannot set the default printer and are experience PDF problems. Please, try the following steps to answer all your questions:
Click Start, type Regedit in the search bar. Right-click on it and choose "Run as Administrator". Now, find the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
You will need to give this key all permissions. To do this:
(a) right click on the key that you need to change and/or delete. Click on "permissions...". »
(b) click on 'Add' in the window that appears.
(c) there will be an empty box under "enter the names of the objects to select. Type "Administrator" (without the quotes), then click on "check names".
(d) an administrator name appears, click 'Ok' when it does.
(e) you should be able to select the profile (click) the administrator under "group or user names. Once you click on it, click on "Advanced".
(f) click the 'owner '.
(g) click on the Administrator profile, then put the checkmark in "replace the owner of subcontainers and objects".
(h) return to the "Permissions" tab, then make sure the Administrator profile is selected.
(i) in the "Permissions" tab, put a check in each box available. Boxes will probably accompany "Include the permissions that can be inherited from the parent to this object" and "replace all permissions of child object with permissions inheritable of this object.
(j) then click on 'change '. Put a mark chark in "Full control" under allow. Click Ok. Now click on apply (you may receive a message of Security window, simply click 'Yes'), and then click Ok.
(k) out of the registry, and then restart the computer.
The last step is to restart the print spooler. To do this, type services.msc in the search bar. Right-click on it and choose "Run as Administrator". Find print spooler and stop it, then start it.
Now try to set the default printer like PDF files and printing. Let me know what happens. Thank you!
Have a wonderful day!

all of a sudden, my HP C4795 is not the default printer?
About a week ago, something struck my pc and meanwhile my facebook and any library, electronic mail has been crushed. I'll be back all email abd f/b, but now I can't print or scan from the pc on my HP Photosmart C4795. I played several times installation disk and said there is a problem and that my printer is not installed and is not the default printer, nor can they install a driver. It worked great until this. I'm out of options, thank you
1. unplug the printer and uninstall the software/driver.
2. go in:

Printer will not feed the paper card stock
We have an Officejet Pro 8600 who will not feed the paper card stock. It was the printer that I used when I worked and did a great job on standard paper, but it won't take my wife stock card paper craft. We used to have a Deskjet F4400 HP all in one and we were able to print. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
John
John,
Welcome to the Community Forum of HP.
Try indicating what type of media you print to the printer - if your media in the printing preferences settings do not understand "card", you should choose something else which is similar: Matt Brochure, card, 'something' that kind of card stock for the printer to the printer waits 'thick' paper looks.
