I changed the printer name to contain no spaces not sure if that matters but this works fine.

They're super easy and work, arguabley, just as well. <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725868(WS.10).aspx" rel="nofollow">http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc7258...</a> Here's how to use it: 1. Make a batch file, like instructed above 2. put this in it: CScript c:WINDOWSsystem32prnmngr.vbs -p "PRINTER NAME HERE" -t exit 3. Either put the bat file in the "All UsersStartup" folder, the default user's startup folder, or make it a login script like the above suggestion. There certainly is more than one way to skin this cat. :) I can also recommend using the built-in vbs scripts. They're super easy and work, arguabley, just as well.

The default printer for all users isn't set this way. It has to be changed in the Default user registry hive. Here is a Microsoft Link on changing the 'Initial' default printer for all users. <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307016" rel="nofollow">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307016</a> Next time I'll verify before posting.
