Default printer automatically changes

Anyone know why my default printer "magically" changes to
another printer on the network without anyone changing
the settings on my machine?

Probably does it when the original default printer becomes unavailable.
Solution, if the real default printer is attached to a PC, do NOT turn off
or shutdown that PC.
