Hi @PJH135,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding resetting your printer!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
To change the default action from creating a PDF to printing on your HP Envy 6010 printer, you'll need to adjust the settings on your printer or the software you are using. Here are general steps you can follow:
Check Printer Settings:
- Access the printer settings from your computer's control panel or settings menu.
- Ensure the 'Print' option is set as the default action instead of 'Save as PDF'.
Review Default Software Settings:
- If you're using a specific software to manage your print jobs, check the software settings to see if 'Print' can be set as the default option.
- Go to the 'Print' dialog box in the software and ensure that the printer, not a 'Save as PDF' option, is selected.
Printer Driver:
- Make sure the HP printer driver is installed and selected as the default printer. You can verify this in your computer's 'Printers' section under 'Devices and Printers'.
If the issue still persists, refer to the steps on this link to restore factory defaults.
I hope this helps.
