Why each option

To change the default printer for applications using the Quick Print feature, you must adjust the system-wide default printer setting.

AIn the printer's Properties window

A printer's Properties window allows for configuration of specific settings for that individual printer, but it does not provide an option to set it as the system-wide default printer.

BIn the print queue

The print queue displays current and pending print jobs for a specific printer and does not offer functionality to set or change the default printer for the system.

CWithin the Print Setup page

The 'Print Setup page' is a generic term referring to print options within an application, which might allow overriding the system default for a specific print job but does not modify the system's default printer setting.

DWithin the Devices and Printers user interfaceCorrect

The 'Devices and Printers' user interface in Windows is the centralized location where users manage all installed printers, including setting the default printer for the entire operating system. Changing the default printer here will ensure that applications utilizing the system's default, such as Quick Print, use the desired printer.
