Default printer changing
A user at the office has following issue. When he returns home with his Dell Laptop his USB home printer is set as default even when it's not connected. When he arrives at the office he has to change his network printer as the default printer every time. Altough this one is configured as the default printer. I know that there are some scripts who changes the default printer, but I'm 100% sure that he hasn't had the issue in the past with his former laptop. Both laptops had Windows XP both laptops are Dell. Can someone help me out please? -- fred_michiels Posted via http://www.xpheads.com

Default printer changing
Something missing in your post. Does he log on differently when at home
versus work? What does he do differently? Defaults don't change simply by moving the computer from one location to another. "fred_michiels" wrote in message ...
