I'm going to change the default printer from the HP Laserjet 5M (old work horse) to another printer. &nbsp;I want to see if the problem still happens when the default printer isn't this old HP. &nbsp;I have a feeling it might be an issue specific to the networked HP Laserjet 5M. &nbsp;I won't know now until sometime next week.<br />
Thanks.

I ran the results wizard in GPMC and I don't see anything related to printers at all. &nbsp;It's pretty basic settings.

Why does the default printer setting disappear on my Server?
