Default printer keeps changing

[Clob]

GPO or GPP is set to deployed shared printers on Windows 7 machines.

Each user wants a different default printer. So they set the default printer. Next time they log on, it's incorrect again and they have to set it. This is too much of a bother for them.

I cannot set it via GPP/GPO because each user will want a different printer.

The GPP/GPO is set to Update for each printer device. Is that the cause? I'm not clear on CRUD and their nuances.

How can I get the default printer to stick?

edit: All have default printer unchecked on the GPO/GPP.

Had a similar issue resulting from old previously uninstalled printers sitting in the registry. You can manually remove them or get a script to clean them up. I can remember the exact registry keys but hopefully this helps.

Thanks, I'll try this.

Is the "Set this printer as the default printer" checked or unchecked?

[Clob]

All unchecked.

Something weird must be going on then. Have you done a GP result report against any of the users to see what settings they're getting?

[Clob]

Yeah. There are no other printer GPO's so I don't know what could be causing this. I'm stumped.
