i now have 2 printers 1 for docs 1 for photos how do i tell the computer to recognize the correct one ?

Question

its prints fine off internet sites but not from my documents site

Answer 1

Hi,
Lets call ur doc printer as 'doc printer' and photo printer as 'photo printer.'

Now, if u wanna print a photo then click on File>Print then from the drop down menu, u should choose photo printer and if u wanna print a document then select the doc printer.

Hope that helps

When you select the "Print" button does a box pop up? I've noticed that this doesn't ALWAYS happen, especially if you select a print button that is actually on a web page, and not the print button on your browser toolbar. The box I'm referring to is the one where you can change the parameters: How many pages to print, color, etc. It shows you the default printer selected (at the top of the box). Go to that drop down menu and select the other printer you want to print to. It will only do it for that one print job, so you'll have to repeat this step every time. Hope it works, and good luck!

With my printer when I click on print. a window comes up. at the top of the window there is listed on a drop down window the printers installed. You just choose the desired printer. If you are printing a document from ms word you need to click on file then print to get this window

You can only have one default printer. However, some applications will et you set a default printer for that application regardless of the default one used by Windows.
