Hi,

Thanks for the reply!

I have 2 physical printers and 3 Pdf printers installed.

I am using Win 10 Pro

I am using the latest version of the software.

Do let me know your thoughts. But after a small research I am starting to think it might be an windows issue after all please have a check on this link here https://silicophilic.com/default-print ... n-windows/ could this be causing an issue for me?

It's a "feature" of Windows 10 that the printer you select in an application automatically becomes your default printer. There are ways to turn this behavior off, but you need to google it. I don't know the trick, I am still using Windows 7

Yes - your reference provides the answer:

Step 1: Press Windows + X and click on Settings, it will take you to the settings page.
Step 2: Click On Devices, it will show you the list of Devices.
Step 3: Click on Printers and Scanners and this will show you the list of Printers
Step 4: Uncheck the Option “Let Windows Manage My Default Printer ”
