    Hi there, looking for tech help please.

    I recently upgraded to a HP Bang & Olufsen Envy which is very nice, thank you. However still ironing out some defaulting issues.

    I am fairly knowledgeable with tech things but I can't figure out where this problem is coming from.


    My print setting are A4 portrait or A4 landscape when I chose to print or when I go into settings and change the default settings. However when the paper is printed it is A5 - half of a landscape page. My previous laptop is open next to me and I do the exact same thing and it prints A4 portrait on the entire page.


    I am missing something in the default setting somewhere and I can not find it. I have gone into settings and changed it, run trouble shooter, changed the advanced settings and all are A4 portrait.


    My printer is s wireless brother. I haven't tried sending anything to another printer from this laptop and not sure if its the printer but it printing fine from my old laptop.


    Thank you.

    :)

    Default 'Print To PDF' settings in Windows

    Wen printing out a document using Print to PDF' I always have to go through the rigmarole of setting the page size to A4 - the default is Letter. I have tried changing the defaults in the printer settings (they are all set to A4) but still the default
    appears as Letter.

    Default 'Print To PDF' settings in Windows

    Hello Val,

    I would like to know more about the issue you're experiencing with modifying the default print configuration of your Windows 10 device. Kindly answer the following questions:

    • Does the default paper size go back to Letter only when printing from Microsoft Edge?
    • Are you getting any error messages?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
    • Can you tell the current OS Build of your Windows 10 system? Click the
      Start button, type
      About your PC, press Enter, and then scroll down to
      Windows specifications to find this information.

    I would like to make sure that you modified the correct printer settings.

    1. Click the Start button, go to Settings >
      Devices
      > Printers & scanners.
    2. Select Microsoft Print to
      PDF
      > Manage > Printing preferences.
    3. On the Layout tab, click Advanced.
    4. Set the Paper Size to A4 and then click
      OK twice to save the changes.
    5. Restart your PC.

    If this is the exact steps you performed but the issue still continues, I suggest running the Printer troubleshooter. This tool will scan and fix your PC for any misconfiguration found with your printer settings. You will need administrative permission to
    access the tool.

    1. Select the Start button.
    2. Type Troubleshoot and then hit
      Enter.
    3. Select Printer under
      Get up and running.
    4. Click Run the troubleshooter.
    5. Follow the on-screen instructions.

    We're looking forward to your response.
