SYMPTOMS
If you change the default printer in Windows 95 while PowerPoint is
running, the target printer for the current presentation does not
change to the new default.
CAUSE
The way PowerPoint for Windows 95 handles the default printer is different
from the way earlier versions of PowerPoint handle it.
When you create a new presentation, by default it is set up to print to the
Windows 95 default printer. However, if you change that default printer
while the presentation is open, PowerPoint does not automatically recompose
the presentation for the new printer driver.
If you close your presentation and then re-open it, it will be set
up for the new printer driver.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, reset the printer before you print the
presentation.
To reset the printer, use the following steps:
- On the File menu, click Print.
- Choose the desired printer from the Name list.
- Click OK.
