• How is to send the native port of the printer command, when the printer is set as the default printer?

  I installed on a Windows XP printer and set it as default printer.

  I also have the manual provided by the manufacturer of printers, which defines the

  commands that can be sent over the serial port, then the status of the printer

  is extracted.

  Thus, for example, by sending an order consisted of 3 bytes: 34,56,78 to the printer (COM5) COM port

  I can get an answer advising me on the State of the printer.

  However, when you send this command to COM5, I get the following exception:

  "The given port name does not start with COM/com or is not resolved to a valid serial port. Parameter name: portName. »

  for which the printer vendor insisted on request microsoft support center.

  The port name of the printer is properly set to the correct a (COM5).

  Any ideas?

• I cannot keep Adobe Acrobat as my default printer my Windows 10 Pro operating system.  Whenever I restart my system, it is by default in the desktop printer.

  I cannot keep Adobe Acrobat as my default printer my Windows 10 Pro operating system.  Whenever I restart my system, it is by default in the desktop printer.

  One of the possibilities for your deliverance is a questionable feature on by default in Windows 10, changing your default printer to be everything you've printed on last.

  Go to the Windows 10 Settings of the PC and from there, select Printers & Scanners. Note the option to Let Windows manage my default printer. Make sure that this option is set to Off which is not the default. Once you set this option to Off, then set the driver Adobe PDF as a default. Windows hide more with her!

  PS: Yes, it's dark and a pain, but Adobe had no permission in this option and cannot turn by if or turn off!

• 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...

  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!

• Canon MG5450 cannot be set as the default printer, error 0 x 00000709, please help!

  Hello MS community.

  I'm lost, I tried several things to solve this problem, but could not succeed.
  My system is:
  Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, stable and works well with a score of 5.9
  My printer has been installed and deleted 3 times already and I tried both set up as a network printer or a USB connected. At the moment I installed it as a USB, but this will not let me install the default printer.
  First the printer is accessible and print successfully from Word, ACDSee and some other applications but is not recognized by Adobe such as Photoshop & Acrobat products and does not Excel print. I know that this error has been discussed in several other threads, but yet I could not find a solution that worked.
  I tried to repair the registry as following the instructions here about something else:

  (a) click Start.
  (b) type regedit in start search and press enter.
  (c) access the site mentioned below.

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
  
  (d) in the right column, you will find key device, change the value of your printer name.
  (e) it is for example in the format: "HP LaserJet 4250 PCL6, winspool, Ne03:

  (f) right click on the value and click Rename, replace with the name of your printer.

  When I try to change the key it doesn't let me, even if I ran regedit as an administrator. It is said:

  Cannot change the device: error writing to the new content value. I wanted to put: series of Canon MG5450 printer, winspool, draw:

  even if in the example, she said winspool, Ne03. I thought I could leave I had in default.

  i also see another key which is:

  Load REG_SZ C:\Users\-(my user name here)-\LOCALS~1\Temp\mshikra.bat

  This also I do not know what because if I go to this folder this .bat file is not present.

  I also tried this tool:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/printing_problems/

  and when he said will analyze it: series of Canon MG5400 printer is not the default printer, and then I clicked on fix it and id not said, not successful.

  Now I don't know what else to do.

  The only true left to try perhaps would be to reset all the settings of the printer (the printer connects to the home network with the wifi password) may disable the wifi wireless option, if possible. Switch it off and remove all the entries of the printer and try again to install it, but then perhaps on the administrator account.

  ideas? suggestions?

• 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.

• Cannot be set as the default printer Officejet 4500

  I installed a printer wireless Officejet 4500 on Windows XP and it works fine. On a Windows 7 computer that is connected to the wireless network I "added" the OJ4500 that has been properly installed. Although it appears in the "Printers and faxes" window it can be defined as printer by default and does not appear in the list of printers, when printing. I downloaded and installed the drivers from HP, but still I am unable to access the printer under Windows 7.

  Download and install the drivers from the HP website solved the problem on the Windows Starter machine.  No need for other answers.

• Office 2010 does not display in the list of programs that can be set as the default value in Windows 7

  I have Office 2010 Home and Student installed on my Pavilion p6367 c - b, which is under W7 Home Premium.

  If I open Word or Excel and then use the open function to open a file, the file opens without any problem.  However, when I try to open a document or a spreadsheet by clicking on it directly (for example, in windows Explorer or a shortcut to this file), I get a message that says: there is no program associated with this file type and "create an association in the default program control panel.

  Unfortunately, when I go on this Panel, Office is not shown as one of the programs that I choose and I see nothing to add.  I know I must be missing something but...

  I hope someone can help me!

  Thank you.

  Hi, once again, Rick:

  I played a bit with change the types of files on a Vista computer, I was working on that. I thought I had to use WinZip to open a file that had no association.

  When I went to the list of available programs that is given to me, WinZip was not an option to choose. If it sounds the same problem you are having. You access the list to select an Office application to open a file and it is not among the list of available programs.

  I thought it was weird, so I played a little bit more. If you go on the left side of the box, you should have options to look for other places, so I went to computer > CProgam files and then I scrolled down and found in WinZip. Then, I open the WinZip program menu and select the executable file to open the file.  It worked (well, he gave me WinZip as default program to open the file, but the file does not open. It must have been corrupted or something).

  Then, give that a try. I am now back on the XP computer and do not have access to the specifics. But the procedure for file association for Vista is the same as W7. I write from memory of what I did last night.
