1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
2. Under the HKEY_ CURRENT_USER subtree, go to the following subkey:
Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
3. Add or edit the following registry entry
Device:REG_SZ:<printer description string>
where <printer description string> is the value that Print Manager would put in if this operation were done through Print Manager. It would resemble one of the following:
\\SERVER\HPLASER,winspool,Ne00: or DESKJET,winspool,LPT1:
The Ne00 is a network port and LPT1 a local port.
With some applications, the default printer is read at the time the application is started and you will need to close and restart the application for the new default printer to show.
