Why does my computer waqnt me to save a document when I hit print? -

I already have it saved and all I want to do is print it. What is the deal?

It sounds like a Print To File printer is set as your default printer in Windows instead of the printer you want to print to, so that whenever you print you are actually creating files with the print information in them on your computer s hard drive (you can delete them if you ever find them). Hopefully you ve installed your printer (software, interface cable, etc.) onto your computer already, if not you ll need to do that first. Usually when installing a printer it will ask if you want this to be your default printer, check the box or select Yes as needed. This should take care of it, but if you didn t when you installed then you ll need to do this: To check and change the default printer, open a document you wish to print, go to the menu bar at top and click on File, move down the pop-up window to Print... and click on it. In the Print pop-up window find your HP printer in the window at top and right-click on it and then click on Set as Default Printer then select Print or Cancel at the bottom. Now whenever you click on the print icon it will print out on your printer instead. Best of luck.

check your default printer. is it the one that is it supposed to be? maybe not. that s for sure.
