    Windows Vista Home Premium Edition.

    I would like to print everything directly without going through Documents. So far, I have not been able to print anything because whenever I click on "print" and specify my default printer, it still sends it to Documents.

    There I am supposed to right click it an click print but the drop down menu does not have print on it.

    I have spent all day trying to overcome this. Whatever I click on to print it shows my printer in print but when I click on print at the bottom it sends it to documents and then I cannot print it. Help!!

    Open up Control Panel and go to Printers. Is your printer set as "default?" If not, righ click on it and select Set as Default.

    Yes, it is set as default printer. But when I click on print, it doesn't print. A window comes up that says: Save As
    then File Name: xps and Save as type: xps document.

    If I do that and then go to documents where it appears and click on it I have no way to print it. This happens with a web page or anything that I want to print.

    Extremely frustrating. There has got to be an answer.
