Word 2003 - will not go back to default printer
I have several printers on my network. My default printer is black & white.
When I go to file-print and select a different printer (like a color printer), it will print fine. I can close Word and the next time I go to print, the color printer is the one it wants to use, even though the black & white is still the default printer. How can I fix this? |

Word 2003 - will not go back to default printer
Whenever you change the printer in the Print dialog, it becomes the active
printer in Word for the rest of that Word session unless you change it to another. When you restart Word, it will again select the Windows default printer. -- Suzanne S.

Word 2003 - will not go back to default printer
Word may not be closed if you use Word as your e-mail editor for Outlook and
Outlook is still open. See http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm for help in switching printers and avoiding this issue. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.
