Default Printer changes

[papichulo111]

Thru the control panel I have set my HP L7580 as the default printer. In
word, printing is regularly stopped because it says that I need to select a
default printer. This happens over and over. Is there some other setting I
need to change to fix this annoying problem?

I cannot say why this problem is happening, but adding the following macro
to the normal template should work around it.

Sub AutoExec()
Dim sPrinter As String
With Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrintSetup)
sPrinter = .Printer
.Printer = "HP L7580" 'Use the exact wording from the Printer dialog
.DoNotSetAsSysDefault = False
.Execute
End With
End Sub

This will force the named printer to be the default printer whenever Word is
started from the Start menu, or desktop shortcut..
