    Office 2010 Starter Default Printer issues


    Before we start I know that Office Starter 2010 is not officially supported on Windows 10, but up until now it seemed to have worked OK if you upgrade from Windows 7 with it installed.

    I have noticed this problem on two separate computers, both have HP Printers (not sure if the problem is limited to just HP), but when printing from Word or Excel 2010 starter it sets the default printer as a different printer to the one in the Windows Control panel.

    For example when I go into Word or Excel and Click File then Print, one computer it says the default printer is Microsoft Print to PDF and on another computer it says the default printer is OneNote it even shows a green tick next to these printers and you have to select the correct printer manually from the dropdown list. When I go to the Windows Control panel is shows that the HP Printer is the default.

    I have tried Changing the default printer in the control panel to another printer and changing it back again, then rebooting the computer, but Word and Excel Starter still insist that Print to PDF/One Note are the default printers on these computer. Other Programs seem unaffected by this and will pick up the default printer from the Windows Control Panel.

    Can anyone help with this problem, Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Office starter 2010 was pre-installed by the Computer manufacturer and is not transferable. There is no installation media or download available.

    If cost is an issue, I suggest you try Open Office or Libre Office. They are free, Microsoft compatible, and quite good.
