Using Your Printer Software

2

•

Throw away the icon

. Drag the icon to the Trash. You can’t throw away a

desktop printer icon while the HP DeskJet printer is printing a document.

•

Rename the icon

. Rename the icon as you would any other Finder icon. Click

the name to highlight it, then type the new name. This changes the name of the

icon, not the name of the HP DeskJet printer.

•

Move the icon

. You can drag the icon anywhere you like.

•

Create an alias for the icon

. You can create an alias for a desktop printer (as

you would for any Finder icon) by selecting the icon and choosing

Make Alias

from the

File

menu. You can move the alias anywhere on or off the desktop.

Determining the status of a printer by looking at its icon

You can tell the status of a printer by looking at its desktop icon:

Switching between printers

If you have more than one printer available, you must select which printer you

want to use. The printer you select is called the

default printer

. You can change the

default printer in one of three ways:

•

Select the printer using the Chooser.

If you don’t have a desktop printer icon

for the printer you want to use, select the printer using the Chooser as

described in “Choosing Your Printer” on page 11. The Chooser then makes it the

default printer.

Note:

You must always have at least one printer icon on your desktop. If you

throw away the last icon, it is immediately be re-created.
