Windows 7 Pro on Domain - Default Printer Changes
Been all over the web trying to find a solution and no luck so far. Here is the environment, Two Server 2008 DC's at 2008 functional level, Server 2003 R2 Print Server with about 8 printer shared from it, 100 + Windows 7 Pro Desktops (no laptops), Roaming Profiles and Folder Redirecion is enabeled for all users. We use KMS to activate all OS and Office software. User comes in in the morning and sets a default printer and works all day, they log off in the afternoon and come in again the next day and their default printer has changed to the Microsoft XPS Document Writer or another printer. I have looked and the location aware printing applet is not available on any of the workstations. First question is Why? The issue is 100% repeatable for those having the issue which is about half of our test group of 100. Any ideas? TIA, JIm

Hello Jim, unforunately we face the same problem. We map printers related to the location of the pc. If a user has visited different locations, it seems to happen. The affected userprofile shows more mapped printers in its registry than being visible in the printerpanel. We have to remove the additional printers from the regsitry to fix it temporarily. I am looking for a solution too. Greetings Th0u
