    I have XP and 2 printers with the laserjet set as default but can
    change when I want to an all-in-one office jet to use if I wish.
    Suddenly, whenever I re-start the computer my default printer changes
    to the officejet all-in-one fax. How do I prevent this from happening? Thanks

    Hi Dmd,

    Not sure about your system, but most printer drivers default back to the original settings if set from the printing program. If you set it Control Panel, Printer. The change is permanent. Maybe!

    Good Luck, Jim

    You would think so. I go to control panel/printers and faxes and set the laser printer as default. It is then fine until I restart and then the other printer's fax is checked default!
