  1. Default Printer keeps changing in Windows 10


    We have two usb printers connected
    DTC1250E and DCP 132W

    As long as they are connected in that order . Then we can set the DCP132W to the default printer and the muster report runs to it . ie right click on a note pad file and it prints to the DC)132W

    We can log off and log on as different users and all stay correct. If the computer reboots and checks the printers to see which is the default . The tick is on the DCP132W but right-clicking on a note pad file is sent to the DTC1250E


    Orginal title : USB Printer

  2. default printer keeps changing in windows 10 despite changes


    Hi all,

    I have 2 pc's both running windows 10 and 1 of the pc's has 2 printers installed.

    The samung printer is default and a zebra thermal printers is the other printer.

    The problem i have is that the other network pc which access's the printers keeps changing the default printer.

    I have changed the "let windows manage my default printer" settings on both pc's but still it keeps changing the default printer.

    Any ideas please as doing my nut in !

    Thanks

    Arul_D,

    This solution does not work.

    The default printer changes back to the last printer every morning, even though nothing has printed to it.

    Hi,

    I am using Windows 10. The problem is the default printer keeps change. For example, I set printer A as the default printer. Then I print to printer B. Then the system change my default printer to printer B. It is very strange and the problem is repeatable.

    Please advise what could cause the problem.

    Thanks,
