But don't you want to have what I've come to enjoy: Printer roulette?
Win, "printer", enter.......come on Printer and Scanner control panel, baby wants a new printer queue to kill that stuck job......dammit edge, no I don't want to search bing for an inkjet.
Win, "printer"...., enter.......come on Control Panel, you can do it......HP Smart Panel, you piece of crap
It amazes me that print management continues to be so spectacularly bad in Windows. It's been terrible since my first days using Win 3.1 and it has never gotten better.
I literally cannot print from my windows machine but all of my Linux machines print each and every time, it drives me literally insane.
I'd say it's come a long way since Windows 3.1 and the days before PnP, to the point that I can actually clear my print que, where not that long ago clearing your print que seemed to be an option MS offered to allow us to experience the rage that arises from unadulterated powerlessness. Hell, half the time it even switches default printers based on whether I'm at home or the office. Now, if Adobe could make it easier to distinguish from settings that will only work in the printer's driver settings, vs. the Adobe application's print settings, we'd be halfway out of perdition.
Ok good so I'm not the only one!
This won't fix your app roulette problem, but you should be able to disable searching the web with the search bar in group policy
As long as you have a Pro version. Home versions of Windows have Group Policy Editor disabled.
Well there's always MAS...
Use power toys search, it's so much better. Fuck windows on general
pro tip: win+r and run this GUID to open the windows xp printer control panel in windows 10/11
