Windows 10: How do I avoid having to select a printer after printing? Windows 10 Columbus 9000

We are printing a rental form from our application. After completing the rental form, the application is prompted to print to the default printer. Instead of automatically printing to the default printer, I am prompted with the attached message. Customers are walking away before selecting OK. How do i remove this pop-up?Thanks in advance for your help.

Windows 10 Home Won't Print to Remote Printer


I have three computers.
Machine 1: Windows 10 pro, has the USB Brother HL-5040 printer
Machine 2: Windows 10 pro, prints OK to the remote printer.
Machine 3: Windows 10 home, Used to print, but not anymore (THIS IS THE PROBLEM).
I’ve tried everything that I can think of, and would appreciate any suggestions.
I did these steps on Machine 3 that did not work.

1. Remove the printer device.
2. Add a Printer
3. The printer that I want isn’t listed
4. Select a shared printer by name
5. Browse
6. Select the displayed Machine 1.
7. Select the displayed Printer.
8. Next
9. Failure “Connect to Printer”.
10. Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or Hostname
11. Next
12. Set Hostname to Machine 2, and set port name.
13. Detecting TCP/IP Port
14. Additional Port information required.
15. Device Type – Standard, Brother Port Server
16. Next
17. Detecting the Driver Model
18. Install The Print Driver
19. Select Brother and Brother HL-5040
20. Next
21. Replace the Current Driver
22. Printer Name (setting it to HL-5040)
23. Next
24. Do not share this printer
25. Next
26. You’ve successfully added “HL-5040”
27. Finish

Printing on Machine 3 puts the document in the print queue, which reports error printing.
Printing from Machine 2 to the printer on Machine 1 works perfectly.
All three machines are in the same HomeGroup. Machine 3 can access the shared files from Machine 1.

 

No Scroll Printer Selection

Windows 10, Dell desktop PC. Sometimes when I select to print a document, the small, square print window that comes up has a single 'General' tab at the top. The selections are listed 3 per column. Out of that big long list, there are only 2 printers I
have used so far, Microsoft Print to PDF, and our Ricoh printer. As it happens, each is at opposite ends of that long list and it seems as if every time I wish to print, I need the printer that doesn't show. That requires me to scroll to the other printer.
Is it possible to edit/adjust the names of these printers so they appear next to each other and scrolling isn't required? All suggestions, ideas, comments any wish to offer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, K.

 

Printing to XPS fails on Windows 10

Hi Dan,



I can understand the inconvenience caused to you. I would be glad to help you.

I would suggest you to refer the below steps and check if it helps.

• 
  Search for Device Manager, or do Win + R and then
  DEVMGMT.MSC.
  
• 
  Go to 'Print queues' then uninstall both the PDF and XPS print queues.
  
• 
  Search for 'Advanced Printer Setup', or look this option in the Control panel.
  
• 
  Select 'The printer that I want isn't listed', in the next window choose 'Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings', select 'Use an existing port:' then in the dropdown select 'FILE: (Print
  to File)'.
  
• 
  In the next window, it will appear a list. Select Microsoft then in the second list select 'Microsoft Print to PDF' and next.
  
• 
  Select 'Replace the current driver' and then next
  
• 
  Give the printer a name (I suggest the original name) then next and it shall reinstall the printer and its driver.
  
• 
  Repeat the process but now instead of selecting 'Microsoft Print to PDF' in the list, select the XPS one.
  
• 
  Restart and see if it prints now.
