I keep getting an error message re: ONENOTE when I try to use my newly installed printer. It worked just fine about 5 times then out of the blue when I tried to print again there is an error message which reads: "Before you can use this feature ONENOTE must start for the first time. You can return here and try again after ONENOTE starts." I have no idea how to remedy this. I did a trouble shoot and it shows my printer is working just fine. PLEASE HELP!

It sounds like the OneNote printer got set as the default and you have not started OneNote.
Try this:
Open the Control Panel
Find the printer you want to use
Right click it and choose "Set as default printer"
Does this work for you?

Yes same here....was working as usual other day...what the heck...I am not even sure what this One Note is, I don't use...and why would my computer suddenly change to that I have to use One Note to print? My printer option is still on original, not One Note, but still got this message
Going to try this, but what is One Note anyway....? Do I need it? I am not in any kind of business, just a grandma trying to print some pictures! I printed something the other day and it worked as usual,
How would I do this with a WiFi printer?
this just happened to me.....was just trying to print a picture from my picture file....so I tried to figure out to print on the One Note, didn't work....just printed the screen....I don't even work with One Note and not even sure what it is. I printed something just the other day and it work in the usual way....quick......
This just now happened to me, I was trying to print a picture from my picture file
I have not changed default to One Note....How did this happen! I just printed something the other day and worked as usual....HP Printer....I did not change anything on the printer...
