| | Windows Photo Gallery uses wrong printer Hi, I installed another printer on my computer, it has the same name as my feault but with (copy 1) after it. Thsi is because my default is on my network, but sometimes I plug directly via USB to see page usage etc which cnanot be done via the network. So my default printer is: Brother HL-5140 and is on ethernet The other is: Brother HL-5140 (copy1) and is on USB All other apps select the default printer, Photo Gallery selects the second, and no matter what I do, I cannot get Photo Gallery to select the default - so everytime I print I have to select the printer. Clearly this is some bug. How do I get Photo gallery to default to the default printer. Thanks Ted |

| | Re: Windows Photo Gallery uses wrong printer That IS the problem. It refuses to select the default printer, it picks the other printer. All my other apps select the default, as they should. I have seen this complaint on other boards, but no solution posted except some regisry edits. Photo Gallery used to select the default printer until I installed the new printer, but the new printer is NOT the default printer. So Photo gallery IS NOT selecting the default printer as it should. I have changed the default printer to other printers (including FAX), yet it continues to always select the same printer.
