Set the default printer

The default or standard printer is the printer that is used by all applications for printing without having to select it first. It is therefore advisable to set as default printer the printer on which you print most of your documents.

  1. Press the key combination "Windows + i".
  2. Click on "Devices".
  3. Continue clicking on "Printers & Scanners" on the left.
  4. Now all printers are displayed
  5. Remove the checkmark from "Windows manages default printers". 
  6. Click on the printer you want to have as default printer
  7. Click on "Manage"
  8. Click on "Set as default" (This is now your default printer)
