Bookshelf: Does Not Adopt New Default Printer Settings PSS ID Number: Q113280 Article last modified on 10-28-1994 PSS database name: HOMEMM

1994 WINDOWS

= SYMPTOMS =

If you change the default printer in the Windows Control Panel, Bookshelf may retain the printer setting it had initially (the default printer setting when Bookshelf was installed or the printer setting last selected in Bookshelf). This occurs because Bookshelf initially sets itself to use the Default Printer, but it sets itself to use it as Specific Printer instead. Thus, when you later designate a different printer as the Default Printer, Bookshelf does not pick up on this change. For example, if the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet II is your default printer, Bookshelf sets itself to print to the HP LaserJet II as Specific Printer. Then, if you later designate a different printer as your Default Printer, Bookshelf remains set to print to the HP LaserJet II and does not adopt your new printer settings. Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Bookshelf 1994. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
