shrug-l: Default printer question

[C. Henry Depew]

Greetings!
      You can set your printers up so that every time you go to print 
something you are asked which printer to use.  I realize that this approach 
requires one more step in the printing process; but, it works quite nicely 
as long as you take the time to check and make sure you have decided on the 
proper printer for the job.
      If you do not want to use that approach, MS Word and Excel will both 
let you chose a default printer to be used as part of the program 
load/set-up procedure.  At least, both programs used to allow such 
configurations.  Who knows with version whatever now on the market.
