    Printer preferences set in control panel not used in applications


    I am using Windows 10, and setting printer preferences in the control panel.


    When I go to an application, it is not using the printer settings that I set in the control panel.


    What do I need to do to have printer preferences be saved?

    :)

    Control Panel... Devices and Printers content

    Hi,

    Thank you for the reply and update.

    As there is a delay in opening the Devices and Printers content from the Control Panel, suggest you to follow this alternative method of opening the same screen to check if that helps.


    • Press “Windows key + I” to get the Settings screen.

    • Click on “Devices” and click on “Devices and printers”.

    If there are external devices connected then pc takes some time to communicate with those devices and then the screen opens up.

    Keep us informed to help you further.
