This is getting extremely annoying, is there any way to fix this? I inevitably found old printer connections there that were no longer valid. Upon clearing those out, after a reboot, the problem went away. If it helps, i'm seeing a ton of Event IDs in the event viewer on the specific machine i'm looking at. See the event user data for context information.

This might not have been an issue in XP, but your Windows 7 machines are using the preference. If defaults were set by preference, a lot more people would have this issue. If you go into Print Management on the print server, right click the printer, then select deploy with group policy. There's no way to define a default printer when done this way.
I think the issue is related to group policy. Typically, the default printer changes when using a Terminal Server because Great Plains loads before the printers are loaded.
To resolve this issue, we:. Mapped the printer to the Terminal Server. Set the mapped printer as the Default Printer. We unchecked Printers 4. We logged into the Terminal Server and found the correct printer was chosen as the default. The correct printer was still selected as the Default Printer. This won't allow the enduser the ability to set the default printer according to their preference.
This might be the Issue too. I found this on another forum and test it on 5 workstations. I hope someone will have better luck. Since it's not gonna do any harm to the others, I'm gonna push it out globally to all workstations in our domain about pc and see how many of them actually get fix about of them have this issue.
If the "Always wait" policy is applied, the machine will wait for the network to be fully initialized before logon occurs. I have found no sure-fire fix. If I look in the event log, i can see that it is the spooler service resetting their default printer, right after logon. Makes no sense. Thanks much - that's awesome - worked like a charm Everything is fine after restart. Does anyone know why the default printer does not stay at the one she has chosen?

Close Box. Log In Come Join Us! Then smash the printer and scanner until they stop at the window. Uncheck Let Windows control my default typography.
If the Print button does not bypass a specific print dialog to send results to the default printer, ask your system administrator or teen to configure the command from the toolbar to use Quick Print instead of Standard Print.
In Office , applications list three print options on the Office menu, with two print commands explained:. Why does my computer keep changing the default printer? A user gets up from their home computer may or may not logout, makes no differance , goes to second computer, logs in, may or may not print something. Logs out then returns to their home computer. The printer default from the second computer replaces the default printer on their home computer.
All the computers are xp pro All the printers are network and distributed by GPO. The current default printer that has been selected is the default printer.
If the value is set to 0, then Location Aware Printing is enabled and the spooler moves to the next step in the process to determine if there is a default printer selected for the network to which the user is connected.
Since you say that the computers are distributed through GPO, you may have to set the GP Preferences to the shared network printer. The article titled " GP Preferences: Add a new printer, set as default " has good information on this.
If it does not help, let us know - We will dig furthur.
