If you frequently print PDF files from Adobe Reader on a Windows 7 computer, you may be selecting the printer each time you print. Adobe Reader detects all printers connected to the computer, but it defaults to the default Windows 7 printer. To reset Adobe Reader to the default printer, you must instruct Windows 7 to use the correct printer as its default.
1.Click the Windows 7 'Start' button in the bottom-left corner of your desktop.
2.Click 'Devices and Printers' in the right pane under Control Panel. The Devices and Printers window opens to display all printers that were connected to your computer.
3.Right-click the printer you want to use with Adobe Reader.
4.Select 'Set as default printer' from the resulting menu. A green check mark appears in the left corner of the printer icon, indicating it as the default printer.
5.Open Adobe Reader and attempt to print a document. The correct printer is selected by default.
Tip
- You can set any printer as the default printer, including virtual printers, such as Microsoft XPS Document Writer and Adobe PDF Printer.
