Check out this article and see if it helps.

Also, we had this problem if the clients default printer did not have the
right mapping or driver. After
installing correct driver or mapping in CMC users go correct default
printer. Also, published the print
folder on Legacy 1.8 farm to solve some of these problems.

  Subject: [THIN] autocreated default printer will not stay set


  I am having a problem with my autocreated default printers not staying
set. I am using Windows 2000 SP4, FR3, and terminal services roaming
profiles. I have found the following:

  1) Printers mapped in the logon script can be set as default printer and
remain set without issues ("connect client printers at logon"=off, "default
to main client printer"=off).

  2) If the user has autocreated printers and is set to "default to main
client printer" all works as expected ("connect client printers at logon"
=on, "default to main client printer"=on).

  3) If the user is set to autocreate printers and manually sets the default
printer, when they log back on the default printer has reverted back to the
original default printer ("connect client printers at logon"=on, "default to
main client printer"=off).



  Has anyone else had issues with autocreated printers not retaining the
default printer settings? I checked and even the administrator is who is not
a roaming user has this problem. Am I missing something, is there a hotfix,
or is it just Monday.
