Where is the Default Printer set in Crystal Reports?

Hello Experts,

The Crystal Reports I've created appear to all have the 'Microsoft XPS Document Writer' set as the default printer when viewed in Info View.  
Question #1: Where is that default printer set?  
Quesiton #2: Is there a way to set a report so that when a user wants to print it from Info View, the printer will default to whichever is the default printer for the computer they are using?

Thank you for your help.

Thank you, Kurt.  That is all useful information for me.

I am using Crystal Reports version 11, and I do not see a place to specify a printer on the Page Setup window.  I do see paper options and a single printer option box for 'No Printer'.  Do you know what the 'No Printer' option does when selected?

Thanks again for your help.

Also, when you state that the same printer driver installed on the computer where the report is designed should also be installed on the server, do you mean the server where Info View runs, or the computer where the user is printing the reports?

Thank you for your help.

Thank you mimcc.  That is logical - I'm glad to know that's where the default printer is set.

I would still like to know if the printer DRIVER on the computer where I design reports needs to be installed on the server where the reports live in Info View, OR the computer where each user prints the reports from Info View - or both.

Thank you for all your help.
