Re: HP Copying Utility

I've just bought an HP 3800 scanner and I have a query about the 'HP Copying' utility. This seems like a great little utility allowing simple 'photocopying' of documents by just pressing the copy button on the scanner the trouble is its printer settings default to Letter and not A4 so the printer hangs waiting for Letter sized paper ! You can manually stop the scan and change settings to A4 but that defeats the object of the single button press copy facility doesn't it ? If you do change settings it doesn't remember the change for next time.
Can anyone suggest a fix to make A4 the default setting ?
thanks

Have you tried this- create a copy of your printer driver, rename that copy, change it's default settings from within the printer control panel, then select that driver as the default driver for the copy utility?
Otherwise, try one of these free copy utilities.
Here are 3 to chose from-
