Not sure what happen to this but I had the same problem. What you need to do is highlight each one except the first HP Photosmart 4100 series, and delete all the other ones.

So delete the following 6 printers.

Send to One Note 2007
Microsoft XPS Document Writer
HP Photosmart C4100 series (copy 1)
HP --------------------" ------" (copy 2)
HP....................................(copy 3) AND
HP ..................................(copy 4) which is the only one that works!!!!!

Now the one that is left should be the default. Do a test page or print something out to make sure.

This should fix your problem. Please rate.

The high pitched whine and the paper stopping just before the fuser (the hot) unit is a known issue on the C3000 and C4100. If you are still searching for the solution to this issue, let me know, as I now have a working fix for the problem.
