Default printer keeps changing

[JM]

I have a laser printer connected directly to my XP Pro computer, not shared.
There is a shared inkjet on another workgroup computer that I have added to
my printers. The problem is that XP keeps defaulting to the shared inkjet
on the other computer. I set it to my laser printer, print some pages, but
after the job is done and I go on to something else, the default printer
changes back to the workgroup inkjet.

Anybody know why this keeps happening? Other than deleting the inkjet from
my printers, what can I do?

thank you,

jm
