The default printer is the printing device set up by the computer or user as the preferred device for printing. Clicking a Print icon or in other ways doing a quick print will send the document automatically to the default printer. You can change the default printer in your printer settings.

∙ 10y agoYou can hook more than one printer up to your system. Your default printer is basically the one that your document automatically goes to when you click on print. Whichever printer you use the most is the one you want to set as your default. It is usaully going to be the printer that you use to do basic tasks like print emails, letters, or pages that you just want a hard copy of. You would leave more specialized printers or printers that use expenive inks as printers that you switch to, instead of your default.

(assuming windows) Go to Control Panel then Printers, it may be "Printers and Faxes", depending on your system. Check which printer is 'default'. The default printer will have a check mark by it. If the wrong printer is selected as default, "right click" on the correct printer and then select the option, "set as default printer". If you don't find your printer in the list, you may need to install it using the manufacturers installation software, or you may need to find a "driver" over the internet.
