Setting Your Default Printer Preferences

Published in Windows Printer Settings 1 min read

How do I add printer preferences in Windows 10?

To set or change the default printing preferences for a printer in Windows 10, you can access its settings through the Devices and Printers menu. This process allows you to define standard settings like paper size, orientation, and quality that will be used by default when you print.

Follow these steps to access and modify your printer's default preferences:

  1. Search Windows for devices, and click Devices and Printers in the list of results.
  2. Right-click the printer icon for your printer, and then select Printing preferences.
  3. Select your new default print settings (paper size, orientation, etc.), and then click OK.

These steps enable you to customize the default printing behavior for your specific printer directly within Windows 10 settings. The changes you make here will become the standard settings applied every time you print from any application, unless you override them within the print dialog for a specific print job.
