How do I choose a default printer?

Windows 7 – Go to the start menu – Devices and Printers use the right mouse button on the printer you wish to choose and from the list choose Set as default printer. Your default printer will be identified by having a tick on the bottom left of its icon.

Windows 10 – Go to the start menu – Settings – Devices – Printers and scanners – Select the required printer and “Manage” and then select “Set as default printer”.
