error 0x00000709: default printer cannot be changed
Quote:
When you try to change the default printer from the Printers section in the Windows operating system, you may get the 0×00000709 error. The main reason for this is that some registry (regedit) values have been changed by the antivirus software in use or by user intervention.
To fix the problem;
-Type regedit in Start/Run or the Search box and open the registry.
-Find the HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWindows folder
-Right-click this folder and go to the Permissions option
-Using the “Add” button, add the “Administrator” and “System” users to the list under Permissions, and give both “Full control”.
