Product: HP OfficeJet Pro 9015 All-in-One Printer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Hi, I had to reinstall Windows 11 which meant I also had to reinstall my HP 9015 via the Add Printer option. In Printers and Scanners I only see the printer, but in the dropdown (Word, Excel, Adobe, etc.) there's also an option for HP Fax and it ALWAYS defaults to that one first, even if I set the regular printer as default in Printers & Scanners. I went into Device Manager and uninstalled the Fax one but that ended up uninstalling everything so I needed to add the printer again.

 

How can I remove the fax option from the dropdown menu? I will never have a need for it here. Thanks.
