Other Ways to Select a Default Printer
Besides using the Chooser, you can also select a default printer in the following
ways:
• Select the desired printer by clicking on the menu bar printer icon at the top of
the screen, and choosing DeskJet 840C .
• If your control strip is on, then select the desired printer by clicking the printer
icon in the control strip, and choosing DeskJet 840C .
• Drag the document you want to print to the desktop icon of the printer you
want to use.
• Click the icon of the HP DeskJet printer you want to use, and choose Set
Default Printer from the Printing menu.
The Print command will send your documents to this printer until you select a
new default printer. If you switch printers, check your document before you
print it to see whether the formatting or pagination changed.
