non-default printer not showing in the Print Name pulldown box

[Guest]

I can't find the answer to this searching through printing related messages
on this board so I'll ask. I'm having a problem where when I use the 'File
-> Print -> Printer Name box pulldown or the Control P and the same Printer
Name box pulldown, that only the default printer shows up when there's more
than that in the Printers & Faxes section under Start. If I change the
default printer in Printers and Fxes then the 'one and only' printer that
will show in the printer drop-down will change, but I never see them all, any
suggestions?

thank you,
Dave

Most printers, especially all-in-one, need to be powered on to show if
you want them to all show.

All the printers are turned on as they show up in the "Printers and Faxes",
it's just that when you go to select a printer to send a print job to in File
-> Print -> Printer Name pulldown, or the same process starting with Control
P, that the only printer on the list is the default printer and no others
that "are" showing up in Printers and Faxes.

Any ideas?

Click printer properties of all printers>under Advanced tab see if
"always available" is checked.
