Default microsoft image writer

I wish I could help you with that but I'm afraid I can't.

What/where is your default printer?

Thanks, I saved the page but it didn't answer the other part of my
question. Why would it pop up on random pdf's that I try to print from
the web? The only option to choose is image writer in those cases. Is
it a problem with the web page design or with my computer?

TIA

What is it? I've never encountered this before and it's driving me
nuts. It pops up on random pdfs or docs which I try to print and only
allows me to save as .mdi. In other cases, it pops up but I have
choices and can choose my own printer and it doesn't change the
extension from .doc or .pdf to .mdi. If I say OK to saving as .mdi, I
still can't print. Arrrrugh! Is there anything I can do to change
this?

Background: I have a new hard drive (the "old" one went kaput, so I
have new software that is similar to my original configuration which is
both microsoft and dell approved). My printer wasn't recognized by my
computer - so I went to HP and downloaded the drivers from there
because I don't know where the installation CD is hiding. I suppose
this image writer thing came with my drivers (it's a
printer/scanner/copier), but I don't know for sure and I sure don't
know how to work around it.

TIA
