Windows 10 & Printer

#1 Post by skiman »

Hi,

Besides the strange behaviour of the mouse in Windows 10, we also encountered a problem with printing. Windows 10 changes the default printer, each time you print to a printer. This makes that for example in a retail environment the POS printer is suddenly the default printer, or a label printer.

You can change this the following way:

Thanks for the information!

We save printer selections done within the application (registry), restore, show and always use them, unless the printer doesn't exist.
Best regards,
Tom

I used LPT1 redirection using NET USE .
This will not work in Windows 10 if you have a physical LPT1 installed on the computer.
LPT2 LPT3 works for me.
