How exactly are you choosing the local printer? If you click File, Print
and select the printer in any Office application then click OK the document
should print to the local printer.

It may be that the program (you don't specify what program you are trying to
print from but I have one that I have to set the printer first, then print
with a separate command) doesn't accept the changes from that menu item.

If, when you're ready to print, if you don't explicity select a printer by
name, the system uses the default printer.

So, in your software, either choose the option when printing that gives you
the choice of which printer to use or set a different printer as the default
(Start/Printers/Select/"Set as default").
