Default Printer choice not retained when closing document

As Suzanne indicates printer information is not saved with the document,
however it is possible to create macros that will direct the print output to
any printer, and if you know that a particular printer will always be used
for documents created from a particular template you can intercept the print
command in that template to print to the required printer. Otherwise add a
printers toolbar to normal.dot and populate it with commands to print to
your available printers. See http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm

I am having an issue where the printer chosen to print a document is

again, it reverts to the default printer.

This is haapen on a Windows 2003 network with the printers being
shared from the server. I tried posting in the Win2003 forums a few
weeks back but no response.

THanks for any help
