Need Printer Help

[trvlnmny]

I am using W 7 and PSP X3.
My printer crashed and I have replaced it with a new one.
It is an HP 8600.
I have it connected to my laptop using a wireless connection
which is the way my previous printer was connected.
I have prepped 2 photos that the Mrs wants a 5 x 7 copy of each.
I then click on File > Print Layout and get an error message saying
There is no default printer installed.

The printer is known to the computer as I have printed from MS Word
and I have scanned from the scanner to the computer.

How do I get PSP to know the printer?

Thanks for any and all help.

Use the Start menu...Control Panel...Devices and Printers. In the "Printers and Faxes" section, see if your printer has a green check mark on its icon (which denotes that it is set as the default printer). If not, right-click on its icon and choose "Set as Default Printer".
