INSTALLING AN LPR PORT

3. After you get home from the store, you unpack your new computer and printer.

You install Windows XP Professional, and you want to install your printer. You

want to set up the printer as your default printer. During the installation, you are

not prompted to use the printer as your default printer for all Windows-based

applications. You know you have seen this option at work when you install local

printers. Why can you not see it on your home computer?

The first time that you add a printer to a computer, this option does not appear. The printer is

automatically selected as the default printer.
