Microsoft Guide to setting your default printer

NOTE: if you are wanting to set your default printer on the remote desktop server, you will need to be connected to the remote desktop server to do the following steps.

To choose a default printer:

1. Select Start  > Settings .

2. Go to Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners > select a printer. Then select Set as default.
   If you don't see the Set as default option, the Let Windows manage my default printer option may be selected. You'll need to clear that selection before you can choose a default printer on your own.

Your default can be the printer you last used. To turn on this mode:

1. Open Start  > Settings  > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners.

2. Select the toggle next to Let Windows manage my default printer and verify that it says On.
