I am in Adobe trying to print and it is going to Fax.  How do I change this?

There are lots of Adobe software options.

 

The following is relevant to recent versions of Windows.

Not your OS?  Check for help at the printer support website (link at the bottom of this message).

 

 

In general, the printer (destination device for the job) is selected in the drop-down printer list next where the printer (job destination) is selected in your software.

 

If you have the printer software installed, there might (for example) be a printer named for the "fax" and another printer that is "just the printer" (printer name might include the name of the printer model and the word "network" or similar).

 

You might eliminate (at least some of) the confusion by making sure your Printer (and not the Printer Fax) is selected as your Default printing device.

 

Example - Select Default Printer

Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers > Right-Click on Printer > Select as Default

Printer_Set_as_Default_3Printer_Set_as_Default_3

 

 

General Example - Adobe Reader DC - main print menu after clicking the print icon in the 'Reader DC software

Manage Print Output with Print Preview_PDF_1DManage Print Output with Print Preview_PDF_1D
