Hello
with Windows 8 (and 8.1) every time I want to print a document Windows asks me to save a file (format .oxps). I then have to locate this file and open it (double-click), which opens a window from which I can finally start printing. And I must not forget to delete the .oxps file!
how can I stop saving an .oxps file and thus print directly from the software I’m working in (as before with Windows XP)?
thank you

    You’re looking for your printer in the Control Panel and you set it as default

    I also have Windows 8. It’s true that starting a print isn’t very obvious. So I’m now using the keyboard shortcut “Ctrl+P.” And there it is, straight away!
