Selecting a printer

Q: How do I select which printer RTG Bills and RTG Timer will use?

A: Both programs initially print to the Windows "default printer" for your PC, or to the printer you have chosen previously.

To change the printer, choose Setup > Printer and select a printer. This change will stay in effect until you change it, if you have RTG Bills V2.21 or above.  (In prior versions, the printer choice stays in effect until you exit RTG Bills.)

To set the default printer in Windows 7:
Click Start > Control Panel > View devices and printers. Right-click the printer icon and choose Set as default printer.

To set the default printer in Windows Vista:
Click Start > Printers, or Start > Control Panel and double-click Printers. Double-click a printer icon to open a window for that printer. From the menu, choose Printer > Set As Default Printer.

To set the default printer in Windows XP:
Click Start > Control Panel.  Double-click Printers and Faxes to open the window.  There will be a white check mark in a black circle next to the icon of the default printer.  Double-click a printer icon to open a window for that printer.  From the menu, choose Printer > Set As Default Printer.
