Hi I have replaced my PSC 2210 with Officejet 4620 it is working OK with the exception that when I select print it wants to send it to the fax and not the printer I then have to select printer from drop down menu, is there anyway of making the printer the default option.
The computer is running Win 7 32 bit
Thanks
Neil

It seems the fax has been set as the default. You can change this as follows: Click Start, Devices and Printers, right-click on the Officejet 4620, select "Set as Default" and click on the printer if it brings up the printer and fax.

I have an HP OfficeJet Pro 6978, just bought and installed. Non-wireless setup, just supports my desktop CPU. Everything works fine, except I can not print from the internet, because when I try to it always thinks I want to fax, and the print fails.
I have the same problem when printing from the CPU (non-internet), but then I get a chance to uncheck fax and check print before it tries to print. From the internet I don't get this option. I'm using Mozilla Firefox latest version browser.
Need help on how to make print always the first option. I never use fax.
Thanks.
