How to change default printer settings in Edge

Question

When I click print, default setting in Edge goes to landscape. I need to switch default to Portrait. This is for bulk business operations. I can't afford to have to fix the correct orientation every time I print.

Thank you, for your time and consideration

Hi,

That sounds frustrating, and I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing it. Have you checked if your printer configuration is set to correct layout? I believe that for the setting to apply system-wide, it needs to be changed from the printer’s own preferences rather than inside Edge. You can do this by going to Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners > select your printer > Printing preferences. Set it to Portrait, apply the changes, restart your computer, and check if that resolves it.
