How to Change Your Default Printer

TurboTax is configured to print to your default printer.

Follow these steps to change your default printer. Please note that once you have selected a new default printer, your computer will print all documents on the new default printer.

Windows

  1. Click the Start button, select Devices and Printers.
    • Windows XP: Open Control Panel, and then double-click Printers and Faxes
  2. Find the icon for the printer you want to use in the display window. Make sure there is a check mark in the lower left or upper right corner of the icon.
    • If there is no check mark, the printer is not the default printer. Right-click the printer icon and select Set as Default.
  3. You may now print your tax return using the new default printer.

Mac

Follow these steps:

  1. Connect the printer to your computer. Follow your printer's user guide or contact your printer manufacturer for details.
  2. Install any software required for your printer to operate, including the print driver.
  3. Print from TurboTax. Set options for what to print. (e.g., the tax return for filing, a specific form) and select Print.
  4. When the Print Dialog box displays, select the printer you want to use to print your return from the drop-down list in the upper right.
