Default Default printer

XPSP2 on a Dell Optiplex 210L
Regardless of selected printer as default, the default always returns to an
HP470.
How do I make it remain on the selected default printer?
TIA
Eric

Default Default printer

Windows will default to the first printer it finds on startup.... so if the
default you want is on a network, it will find the local one before you have
completed the network connection.
