| | Setting default printer I am new to Vista and have an Acer Aspire desktop with Vista. I have installed my Canon iP4200 without incident but for some reason I cannot set it to the default printer. When I click on it and try to set it nothing happens. Most of the programs seem to recognize the printer but some like Adobe Acrobat do not and some of the programs in Vista itself do not. I get a error message telling me I need to install a printer before I can print from these programs. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software. I have the newest Vista compatible drivers from Canon. any suggestions? Thank you. -- witt |

Some Adobe applications have been problematic for Vista. I have an Epson Photo Perfection 1650 scanner and while Epson has a Vista driver for it, the other software that came with the scanner, like Epson Smart Panel, does not work under Windows Vista. If you just install the Vista driver, does Windows then allow you to set the printer as the default? |
