If you have more than one printer and have one that you use more than the other, it’s a good idea to set it as the default printer. To do this, go to Start, Settings then Printers. Find the printer you want as your default, right click it and select Set as Default Printer.
This comes in handy so you don’t have to go to File, then Print and pick the printer but instead can go to your printer icon on your toolbar in such applications as Word and Internet Explorer which will print to the default printer the first time you click them.
