I'm in charge of 17 diffrent computers and 2 of them have been changing default printers. These are Dell computers that have a POS loaded on them. It also has a receipt and report printer. The receipt printer is the default. When we restart the computer it changes back to the report printer which is an HP 3600 series. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the report printer. When wwe reboot the computer and go into the printers is shows there are 2 HP printers on it one says it's deleting and the other it says copy 1.

A simple way to fix this is to add a 0 (zero) to the front of the printer name. Then it will be the first printer found and become the default.

Another thing you can do is pick one profile on the computer and setup the printers and any other settings the way you want them to be, then login as local administrator and copy the profile you setup to the default user profile. Warning this will overwrite the other profile. You would then recreate the local user profiles for your other users by removing and recreating the logins on the machine.
