I recently carried out an update on my Deskjet D.2660 printer and installed a new driver however since doing so I have lost the ability to set one of my favourite ways to set printer settings by using the short cut CTRL + P. I run Windows 7 and my browser is Internet Explorer 11. Any help to remedy this situation would be gratefully received

Sometimes, an application can take over control of the CTRL+P shortcut (possibly just sloppy coding.)

You may be able to reset by going into the Registry. The trouble is, it's not for the faint-hearted. You could disable your machine.

A safe idea, which is worth a shot, is to download the FREE version of "Ccleaner", and run its Registry checker. I don't know if it will reset it. It may think that it's correct, but worth a try.

A simpler way would be to run "System Restore" on your computer. Reset the whole machine to a date BEFORE the driver was installed. If that brings your CTRL+P back, then go for a better driver this time.
