I am using XP home
I have 2 printers set up to this computer
Recently when I was to print a document, it said that no printers were
installed so I went to 'Printers and Faxes' in control panel and attempted to
set one of my printers as the default but i cant. I can right click on the
icon but i when i click on 'set as default' nothing happens. I also tried to
set the other printer as default but also nothing happens. What can i do? I
cant print at all!!

Any help much appreciated
