Windows Tip: Add Printers to Send To Menu
 
    

Speed up printing by utilizing the Send To command.

Windows comes with an incredibly useful feature called the Send To command. This feature is found by right-clicking on any document. It allows you to bypass file associations and open up documents in any program. You can also send documents to the printer without having to open them first. Doing either of these requires that the program or printers be listed in the Send To menu.

Follow these steps to add a printer to the Send To menu.

  1. Single-click the Start menu, mouse over Settings, and select Printers from the list.
  2. Right-click your printer's icon inside the Printers folder and select "Create Shortcut" from the menu.
  3. You will then be asked if it's OK for the shortcut to be placed on the desktop. Single-click the "Yes" button.
  4. Go to your desktop and find the newly placed shortcut to your printer.
  5. Select the new shortcut by single-clicking on it. Once it's highlighted, hold down and release the CTRL key + X at the same time. (This will "Cut" the shortcut to be placed inside the Send To menu.)
  6. Open up My Computer from your desktop and select the drive where Windows is installed.
  7. Open up the Windows folder and double-click the Send To folder.
  8. Hold down and release the CTRL key + V at the same time to "Paste" the new printer shortcut inside the Send To folder.
  9. Try out the new shortcut by sending a document directly to your printer.
