Default Printer changes
Thru the control panel I have set my HP L7580 as the default printer. In
word, printing is regularly stopped because it says that I need to select a default printer. This happens over and over. Is there some other setting I need to change to fix this annoying problem? |

Default Printer changes
I cannot say why this problem is happening, but adding the following macro
to the normal template should work around it. Sub AutoExec() Dim sPrinter As String With Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrintSetup) sPrinter = .Printer .Printer = "HP L7580" 'Use the exact wording from the Printer dialog .DoNotSetAsSysDefault = False .Execute End With End Sub This will force the named printer to be the default printer whenever Word is started from the Start menu, or desktop shortcut.. http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org papichulo111 wrote: Thru the control panel I have set my HP L7580 as the default printer.
