How can I disable the HP Real Life technologies as the standard? As it is now, I have to disable it every time prior to printing.

Thank you for your response.

 

Could you please elaborate on this step:

"Next,

Tab Advanced > Printing Defaults > Select Shortcut > OK to save"

 

I use the Danish version of Windows and do not understand that step. Below is a clipping of the Printing Defaults dialog box in Danish. The name of the selected tab translates to Shortcuts for printing. Do I have to do something there?

I looked around int he printer settings and found two different Printing Defaults dialog boxes. Disabling it on both Advanced tabs in those two dialog boxes solved the problem.

 

Thank you,
