How to change the default preference in system printer dialog?

Question

Hi,

Every time if I want to print from the Zebra GK420t printer, I need to change the settings in "Preference" in the System Print Dialog. I can't find the place to change the setting permanently in the system.

I am using Windows 10 22H2 19045.2251

Did you already set the printer to be the default printer for the system?

If not, follow the steps on this link to set it.

To add, you may need to set this via the control panel.

Click the Windows logo then type control panel then click the search result.

Next, click view devices and printers.

Next, right-click your printer then click printer preferences.

Hi Nicole,

Thanks for the information, it works. But does that mean I can't set any other printers as default?

Answer 5

Hi again. You can only set one Printer as the default printer for the system. If you have multiple printers, you need to set the printer that you use most.
