Save As v.s. Print

Posted in Microsoft, Windows at 2:11 pm by Keith

Problem: In Windows XP when you try to print a dialog box opens asking you to Save As instead of printing.

Solution: You don’t have your default printer selected correctly. You probably have Microsoft Office Document Image Writer or Adobe Acrobat Writer selected. To change your default printer go to Start > Control Panel > Printers and Faxes, right-click on your printer and select Set as Default Printer.
