How do I keep a certain printer selected as default?

[Kathleen O]

On my work computer (and everyone on the network), I keep setting the default printer to a certain one. However, it keeps changing back every once in awhile to a different printer. This is very frustrating, as I keep having to reset the default printer!! Ugh T Anyone have any help?

Go to Start > Printers and Faxes > RIGHT Click the Printer to set Default > Click Set as Default Printer

Some application you're using to send a file to a non-default printer might then be assigning it as your default. Can you detect a pattern to the mis-assignments, say, by printer or by cause-and-effect?

On your work computer, the admin priviledges and other settings may be determined by your I.T. team or the system administrators. So even simple things like your wallpaper may be set each time you reboot your system. Printers may also be set to default to certain options.You may not be able to solve this unless your system admins configure it to allow you guys to set it.
