How to Change your Default Printer
Here is how you change the default printer to any other printer that you have connected to your computer.
This will simplify your printing tasks, since you can select the most frequently used printer to be the default.
These instructions will work for Windows XP. — Note: Other operating systems will vary slightly.

[4] To make sure the correct printer is now set as the default, right-click on the printer icon again. When the menu opens, a check mark should appear before Set as Default
That’s all you have to do!
