A Windows 10 computer has several printers configured in the Control Panel Devices and Printers window. Which printer will the computer choose to be the first option for printing?

  • the printer that is set as the default printer
  • the software-based printer that is used to create PDF files
  • the software-based printer that is used to create XPS files
  • a manual selection, which is always needed

Explanation: The Default Printer option is set globally and will be the first printer to print a job unless another printer is selected in a Per-Document manner. Software-based printers are just instances of different kinds of printers, but to be chosen to do the job, they will need to be selected as a default or Per-Document printer. Selecting a printer every time a printing job sends is not needed.
