Creating a Printer Shortcut
If you frequently print documents from your desktop, the easiest way to expedite the process is to create a desktop shortcut to your printer. This way, whenever you want to print something, you can just drag and drop the document to the printer icon, without having to open it.

To create a desktop shortcut for your printer, go to Start, Settings, Printers. Right-click the icon of your default printer and choose Create Shortcut. Windows will tell you that the shortcut has to go on the desktop (which is where you want it anyway), so click OK. The next time you have something that you need to print, just drag it and drop it on your new icon.
