Set the Default Printer in Settings

You can go right to the Settings on Windows 10 and pick the printer you want to use by default. It makes printing with a click faster with your preferred printer.

Set the Default Printer in Control Panel

Some Windows 10 users still like to use the Control Panel for managing settings and devices. If you fall into this group, follow these steps to set your default printer in Control Panel.

Set the Default Printer as the Last One Used

One other handy option on Windows 10 is to set your default printer as the last one you used at that location. So if you travel between your home and physical office, for instance, you can have the default printer set as the one you used most recently at that spot.

Take Control of Your Printer on Windows 10

Rather than selecting the printer you want to use each time, set a default printer instead. Then you can print much faster with fewer steps.
