    Hello

    Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having query\issues related to

    You configure Default printer via GPO The settings for this are under User Configuration > Preferences > Control Panel Settings > Printers > Shared Printer > Select your printer then select the "Set this printer as default printer"

    OR

    You can use Startup or Logon script

    Get-WmiObject -Query " SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer WHERE Default='TRUE'").Name | out-file $env:USERPROFILE\DefaultPrinter

    (New-Object -ComObject WScript.Network).SetDefaultPrinter((get-content $env:USERPROFILE\DefaultPrinter))
