Windows 7 Professional loses the default printer at least once per day
Since I use Windows 7, I have to go into the control panel and set the default printer, at least once a day. The next time I need to print something, none of the printers are set by default. All printers are visible in the control panel that none of them are by default. Note: The same thing happens on several computers running Windows 7.
I did not assume that Remote Desktop is involved in your configuration, because it resembles an old question of Terminal Server services. Alan Morris Windows printing team seek here Microsoft Knowledge Base: http://support.microsoft.com/search/Default.aspx?adv=1

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!

Mac: How do I change the default printer by application
Hello
I use a HP OfficeJet 8600 and impossible to find a way to set the default print by application options. When I use my Windows machine he remembers the print by application settings (for example, if I print from Word, it prints the ordinary quality, if I select print in Photoshop, print quality Photo paper). On the Mac (OS 10.8.5, Macbook Pro) I can't find any way to do it. If I put a print job in Word and the last used printer setting (from Photoshop) is Photo paper, then Word prints using this and uses a lot of ink and is incredibly slow. Any help?
Thank you...
Hello again @winm!
Thanks for the reply!
I understand that when Windows printing software in memory settings for Word and Photoshop. On the side of the things Mac, you will need to make the preset and choose it every time. You may just be better to choose a quick project for Word and photo paper for Photoshop as you say. The software in the Mac won't remember automatically.

Download and run the Print and Scan doctor. It will diagnose the problem and could solve it automatically. http://www.hp.com/go/tools > using HP diagnostic tools for printers under Windows HP.

I also suggest to create a new user account and check if you are able to set the default printer.

How can I get Word 2007 to reset the default printer after each draw?
I'm not the most tech savvy person in the world, but I know my way around MS Office well enough; When my boss got a new computer last month, I helped to set up, install the MS Office, etc. Now, she complains constantly that he does not restore the default printer after each draw and "my old computer used to do that for me - I never know where it'll print now."

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.
