How to change the default printer

Buildsoft programs (especially Diamonds, ConCrete and PowerConnect) request printer properties at start up or when being enlarged. When the communication regarding those properties is too slow, because:

  • it’s a network printer
  • the printer is not online
  • Windows determines the default printer automatically (= the default setting in Windows 11)

the Buildosft programs won’t start, will get stuck, will block, will crash or will show an error message.

The solution is to define a local printer (such as PDFCreator, Microsoft to PDF, CutePdf, …) as default printer. The workflow to do this, can be found on the Microsoft support website (EN, FR, NL).
