I have tried setting one of our printers as the default printer, and it sets it as the default printer for a short period of time, but when the user restarts, or leaves his computer for a period of time, the computer resorts back to his old default printer (a printer that is at another office and he still needs installed). Anything I can try?

Thanks,

Try removing all printers then restart the system and check the printers
tab and see if its empty. Now reinstall the printer you want as default and
leave it for a day or so and see if everything is ok, then reinstall the other
printer and see what happens. Is this a network printer and is there a conflict with IP addressing ??

** Note make sure you write down info pertaining to the printers before removing them to reinstall. Also if they are TCP/IP ports and not LPT1 Parallel
you will have to delete the ports and reinstall after.
