default print settings not being "held"

's Computer Specifications

On of our company's XP Pro SP2 machines has a strange ongong issue...

If the user changes his default printer from the "printers and faxes" app,
then goes into Word or Excel etc... and attempts to print, the original
default printer is the printer that is used by default, NOT the one he just
changed it to! Then, when the user selects the printer he wants from the
list, he has to then also change all the print settings as it does not bring
over the defaults set up for that printer i.e. paper size, orientation etc..
etc... This is a real pain!

Has anyone seen this issue before and if so, any ideas on a fix?

Thanks, Brad
