[Solved] OpenOffice defaults to the wrong printer

[Helene730]

Updated to MacOS 12.2.1, since then Open Office defaults to the wrong printer. System has a default printer, all other applications default to that one, OpenOffice used to default to that one also. Now it defaults to my label printer. I can select the correct printer each time...when I remember...been wasting lots of labels when I forget. I've looked everywhere to change to default printer universally within OpenOffice to fix this, but I only see where to set the printer within each document. Tedious, and not how it used to be.

Is it an issue with a specific document or all?

Any and all documents, both spreadsheets and docs.

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

Open Office defaults to the wrong printer

Check: File → Printer Settings
Or try the other print dialog as discussed in [Tutorial] Mac FAQ Q35/A35.

Tedious, and not how it used to be.

If those ideas don't help, can you reproduce the problem on the Guest User?
Q28: How do I use the Guest User account to run a test?

If printing is OK on the Guest User, sign off the Guest User, sign back on to your usual account, and reset your profile.
Q02: How do I create a new profile on a Mac?

been wasting lots of labels when I forget

Unless printing labels is something you do every few hours, disable the label printer when not in use. Unplug its data cable or power it off.

Tried different solutions listed above. What did it is deleting the driver which looks like it was corrupted. Works fine now. Thanks for your suggestions!
