How many printers are installed on home unit?
Would assume if only one printer installed, you would not get a choice.
Many programs have a "Print Setup" option in File menu.
Otherwise, install a second printer thru the Add Printer option. You do 
not need to actualy have the printer - just select one Windows has the 
drivers for. Unselect Automatic detection
