Hi, Laura.

Looks like my best-laid plan went awry. :>{

Thanks for letting me know. I'll re-send the message - without the ~170 KB
screenshot file.

Hi, Bob.

(This is a re-send of my post on 5/4/10 - WITHOUT the attachment, which I
cannot post in this newsgroup. Since you have Win7, you should be able to
see the Devices and Printers page on your own computer, anyhow. My
apologies to others who may have to read this more than once.)

In Win7, go to Control Panel | Devices and Printers. Right-click on the
icon for your HP 6480, then choose "Set as default printer" from the context
menu. You should see a white check mark in a green circle on the default
printer. Quicken should then default to your HP printer, and this default
should survive restarts. The context menu for the Quicken PDF Printer also
has an option to Remove device. I've never used Quicken Home & Business,
but this is how it works in Quicken 2010 Deluxe.

(I found this page by typing "default printer' into Win7's Help and Support.
To go straight to Devices and Printers, just press Start and type "default
printer" or just "printers".)

For those who are still using WinXP and haven't seen Win7's display for
managing Devices and Printers, I'm attaching a shot from the Windows
Snipping Tool. (Deleted from this re-post - see above.)

I don't have 2010 installed but in 2008 there is an option under File
for Printer setup. See if selecting the printer there will help.

Does the printer stay as your default printer for all other windows
options and this is just a quicken issue?
