Default Printer Automatically Changes in XP

jwitt001 · jwitt001's Computer Specifications

Using Windows XP. I go to Control Panel and reset the default printer which is an HP Deskjet 6940. When I go back to the Control Panel the default printer has been reset to an HP Photosmart. I change it back and it occurs again.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi and welcome to PCR.

Have you double, or treble, checked all the connections to the HP deskjet? Maybe your PC thinks it's not connected and therefore defaults to the other printer.

The printer is connected. Because I change it back to the default and print the document.
