Windows 7 Email printer selection stuck on SAVE

[rgrcpa]

When trying to print an email, my print selection screen ALWAYS shows Save as PDF. Printer choiuces are NOT given. I have to use the CHANGE button to bring up my list of available printers. How can I remove the save as PDF as the default in my email printer screen?

To address the issue where your print selection screen always shows "Save as PDF" as the default option instead of listing available printers, you can try the following steps based on the email client you are using:

For Outlook:​

1. Change Default Printer:
   • Open the Control Panel on your Windows system.
   • Go to "Devices and Printers."
   • Right-click on your desired default printer and select "Set as default printer."
   []Check Printer Settings in Outlook:
   • Open Outlook.
   • Click on "File" in the top-left corner.
   • Choose "Print" from the menu.
   • In the print settings, make sure your desired printer is selected. If not, use the dropdown menu to choose the correct printer.
   • Click on "Print Options" to configure any additional settings.

     For Gmail (Webmail):​

   []Change Default Printer in Browser:
   • Open your web browser and navigate to Gmail.
   • Click on the three dots (menu icon) in the top-right corner of the browser window.
   • Go to "Print" and choose your desired printer from the list.
   []Check Printer Settings in Gmail:
   • Open the email you want to print in Gmail.
   • Click on the "Print" icon.
   • In the print preview screen, make sure your preferred printer is selected.
   • Use the "Change" button if needed to select a different printer.

     General Steps:​

   []Reset Printer Settings (Windows):
   • Open the Control Panel.
   • Navigate to "Devices and Printers."
   • Right-click on the printer you want to set as default and choose "Set as default printer."
2. Check Default Printer in Settings:
   • Open the Settings app on your Windows machine.
   • Go to "Devices" and select "Printers & scanners."
   • Ensure your desired printer is set as the default under "Printers & scanners." After following these steps, your selected printer should appear by default when printing emails, and you should no longer see "Save as PDF" as the default option.
