Re: Why does my printer automatically go to send a fax when I just want to print?

I just installed and then uninstalled a Canon printer to my computer. Now, I cannot print. When I go to print, it takes me to a fax page. My 6600 is designated as the default printer.  Please help.

Welcome to the HP Forums okbyme,
I see by your post that the printer is set as the default printer, but when trying to print it defaults to the fax driver.
I can help you with this issue.
Clear out the print spool folder.
How to Clear Current Print Queue In Windows Vista & Windows 7.
From the application, go to file, print and select the printer in the print dialogue box to see if it will print.
Try opening the application, go to file, print, right click on the printer driver and select set as default.
Close the window and try again to see if the default printer changed back again.
If you are not actively using your Fax driver then remove it from your Devices and Printers folder.
The only other option would be to fully uninstall and reinstall the printer software. The printer driver might have become corrupted.
Uninstalling the Printer Software.

Select your operating system, click next and click on the software to download and install.
Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.

    Hi pa_tom,
    In your printers folder on your computer, is the default printer set to your printer, or your printer- fax?

  • Why does Captivate have to convert all the PPTX slides when I only want two?

    Hello friendly people : ) ,
    I often import Power Point slides into my Captivate projets.  Even when I only want two slides from a large Power Point presentation, Captivate converts every slide, and this of course, take quite a bit of time.  Is there any way around this? 
    Thank you.
    Ryan

    Hi Ryan,
    How Captivate does import is, it fetches all the PPT/PPTX source content in the import process and then produces the Selection box where you can choose what all slide you want to bring in and then on proceeding it converts those slides to Cp compatible Slide structure and introduces them at the stated slide location.
    What, I understand (Looking at your other thread) you do not link and re-import all slides after making any small change. So, if these modifications are being made by same individual on same machine, he can simply right click and edit the presentation from PowerPoint and save it to bring all the changes (this can be done without switching to linked in library).
    Thanks,

  • Why do i need to give them my credit card when i just want to redeem a gift card

    I have itunes set up on our home computer. We got a iTunes gift card, so we tried to buy an album  I entered the verification code on the back of the card. the top righthand side of the screen successfully registered the $15. Then when I went to buy an album, it wouldn't let me unless I entered credit card information. Why does it demand my credit card when I am not paying by credit card? When you buy something at a store with cash or a gift card, they don't demand your credit card.

    Please see the information here -> Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method - Apple Suppor…

  • Why does my iPod automatically adjust it's volume setting when I plug in different headphones?

    So, I frequently switch between a pair of earpods and a different type of headphone, and when I switch, my iPod volume control self-adjusts.  What is it doing?  Is it something to do with imedance?
    Thanks!
    Jason

    Hello,
    Apple has a profile for each headphone you just put. When you plug a pair of headphones, and you don't change the volume, the volume changes itself to the previous time you putted the same headphones. This happen because the profile saves itself in a cache inside the Apple filesystem. If there were no cache, everytime you connect a pair of headphones, you will **** your ears. So that's the problem here.
    Cheers.

  • Why does apple make it so difficult to contact them?  I just want a follow up on a case I opened and can't seem to get to the right place.  You can't follow up with the email because it's a no reply. Very frustrating.

    Anyone have a link? I have been going round in circles for at least an hour.  Not much fun with a home button that dosnt work.

    you get help with anything you need if you go to a Apple store, i've been using apple for many years and they have never let me down, also you can contact them by phone, here is the link to the page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

    Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes? None of the cd info shows up either.

    Well, the format I upload from the camera is "video clip" or "video for Windows"...sometimes I've converted them to avi format, too. But as I said, it never even lets me get that far...I never get to even select a clip. As soon as I tell the program to "import/clip" it freezes up before I can even go to the folder that the clips are in. It has only begun to do this recently, and I'd never had any problems like this before. Last night I tried it again, and I clicked "open composition", and it froze when I did that too.
    I'm not sure how much more specific I can be about the details of the clips, since I'm positive it has nothing to do with the clips themselves...I'm running Windows XP, though...Home Edition Service Pack 2, Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz, with 504 MB of RAM. I have had the automatic updates turned on since I did my last reformat a couple of weeks ago. Could it have something to do with some kind of an update it may have done?
