I work for a non-profit and I am basically the IT Department in our organization simply because I am the one who knows the most about computers (which isn’t a lot) but there is no budget for an IT Department.
We recently upgraded to Windows Vista Business and I am running into an issue where I can’t set any network printer as the default printer. I can install the printer fine and I can set the printer as default at installation but once I reboot the computer, the default printer switches to Microsoft XPS Document Writer. When I go to the printers screen, right click on the network printer and click set as default, nothing happens. I can set other local printers like Microsoft Office Document Image Writer and Fax as default but those are useless to me. All our office printers are network printers.
I can delete the network printer, reinstall and set the printer as default during installation but I lose it again once I reboot.
I’ve also tried deleting Microsoft XPS Document Writer, Microsof Office Document Image Writer and Fax. After deleting them, I still can’t set the network printer as the default. When I click print in an application, the default printer is blank so I have to manually go and select the network printer.
If anyone out there can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks a lot.
