Print defaults to 3

Tutorials Win: Microsoft Windows Forum

Whatever I print, from any application ( IE, OE, Excel, etc) defaults to 3
copies. On the print screen, I could change it to 1, but that's getting old.
Any help in getting it to default back to 1 would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve

I assume that you've tried:

Start-Settings-Printers
Right click on your printer
Choose Properties
<now printer model dependent>
Ex: (HP)
Choose Features tab
Change default copies to 1

OK, Thanks,

I did change the properties, but it didn't hold. Maybe I didn't 'apply' .
It's working now.

Thanks again,
Steve

When you set properties from the File/Print menu or by clicking the "Print"
icon, these settings are not permanently saved as the default settings. But
when you make the same changes from the Printers folder, they are saved as
the defaults.
