Re: Unable to set a default printer

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I tried the solutions in both articles and they did not correct the problem.
I am going to try deleting the profile again and then looking to see if there
is anything kept in the registry for that profile and delete that as well.

I have a Terminal server that is being used by several people.
All of them have their profile stored on a local volume and all
of them are granted permissions through a common NT security
group.

One of the users is unable to select a default printer, none of
the others has this problem. When I look at the printers she
has to choose from they are the same as what are installed on
her local client. She is able to select a default printer on
her local client. In a Terminal Server session her printers do
not show a default selected. If she opens an application and
prints using the print dialog from the File menu there is no
printer selected in the dialog box but if she clicks the down
arrow she can select any printer she wants.

There is an error generated in event viewer with eventId 1109
stating "The HP LaserJet 2100 PCL6 on mio7D84TB1 (from
MILJX17ZC1) in session 2 printer could not be set as the default
printer."

The link provided Says there is no additional information about
this issue in the Error and Event Log Messages or Knowledge Base
databases at this time.
another link is provided on this page that goes here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817870/en-us

This article just tells me that the error is incorrectly logged
and to ignore the error. The problem with that is that the user
is still not able to select a default printer.
