Part 6. Working with Printers

All Windows programs use the same setup for your printer, which saves time and ensures that you can print from any Windows program without resetting for each program. When you first install Windows, it sets up your printer. If needed, you can set up more than one printer in Windows and choose the printer you want to use at any given time. In addition, you can easily manage printing for all your programs from Windows. You can pause, restart, and cancel printing, for instance, from the print queue.

You can also make customization changes to the printer, such as setting the default printer or default settings for how the printer works (for instance, landscape versus portrait orientation). You access and manage the printer through the Control Panel.
