Re: Word 2003 resetting default printer

Word has always retained the last used printer setting - the *Active*
Printer - until Word is closed (which will mean closing Outlook also if you
have Word as your e-mail editor) It should not change the Windows *default*
printer. The macro solution that you dismiss will return the *active*
printer to what it was before the print job.

I'm having the problem I've seen others report here; I use three
different printers (2 hardware, 1 software PDF creator), and whenever
I use one of the non-default printers for two or three print jobs
from inside Word, it resets the system default printer to the one I'm
using temporarily. Word 2000 never did this. Neither does
Wordperfect. Firefox keeps the last printer used as its own, internal
default printer, but it doesn't change the system default printer.
Why does Microsoft have to assail us with these infuriating bugs?
Graham, I've seen your macro toolbar workaround, and it's not what I
need
for this situation. I need to know if there's some way to keep Word
from resetting the default printer, which it has no business doing.
I'm on SP2 of Office 2003. Have any of the hotfixes issued since SP2
addressed this problem?
