How can I print labels directly to stock. Now it keeps insisting on a PDF file that does not print to label stock correctly.

Go to settings>>>>then Devices>>>>>then click on your printer and select set as default. The "should" do it.

Label program insisting on PDF file.
What label program are you using? Do you have the ability within the program to direct it to a particular printer or set printer preferences?
Is there an upgraded version of the program from the software vendor?

Its just the basic Microsoft Word ..Mailings.. Labels that I have used for years and now doesn't print since the upgrade to Windows 10 yesterday. It must be in a default setting somewhere but I am to old and technology challenged to figure it out on my own. I sincerely regret going to Windows 10

Maybe someone here might have a solution for you....
Can you tell us which version of MS Office or MS Word you are using?

EDIT: Which printer you are using as well as which label stock (Avery for instance) you are using might also be helpful.

I wasn't aware that Word Starter 2010 would even work on Windows 10.
Do you have any problems printing anything else from within Word Starter 2010.

All previous documents are being saved to a PDF file. What would happen if if "Removed" Microsoft print to PDF file from the Settings...Devices?
