Default Printer for Internet Explorer or Outlook Express May Be Incorrect

When you print from Internet Explorer or Microsoft Outlook Express, the default printer may not be the same as the default Windows printer.

This issue can occur if you previously selected a printer other than the default Windows printer in Internet Explorer or Outlook Express.

Internet Explorer and Outlook Express retain the printer setting for the last device you used to print. To work around this issue, select the default Windows printer in Internet Explorer or Outlook Express before you quit Internet Explorer or Outlook Express.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
