I Just Want To Set It As The Default Printer.

Firstly, most of the time we can't get the thing to print anyway. This time we uninstalled and reinstalled it and it printed what was in the queue, but now it won't let us send anything else to it because it is not the default printer. We Opened 'printers and devices', right-clicked on the 3050A option, and it doesn't even come up with the option to set it as default. What is the deal?
