Top Ten Mac Mini Tips! Tip #1 - how to set up a printer!

Oh the questions...

How do you set up a default printer?
How do you set up any printer?
How can I print from the Internet?
How can I print from Word?

Most answers are the same. You can usually use a pull down menu (downward triangle) to expose an alphabetic list of printers. Select the printer you want, and hit print.

Once you have printed, the default is to print to that printer over and over (print to last printer)

If you would like to change the default printer, you should:

• go to preferences (the gear on the lower right, or from the app
• click on Printers
• find default printer (lower right)
• click on the downward triangle to expose all printers
• select a printer 
• close preferences
