How do I stop Vista using print to file as default when printing

I am trying to print to the printers on our company network from an encrypted
file that does not allow using the print to file command. I installed the
printers successfully and at no point specified that they should use print to
file to print. From what I can see Vista does this as default. Has anyone
found a setting to stop this? Thanks!

Have you tried setting your physical printer as the default device?

Have you checked the url for "Posting Prudctively" lately (hope you can
read Spanish LOL!)? I see you're still top posting, a very unproductive
way of posting and contrary to established Usenet norms.

Top or bottom posting is acceptable within the MS Newsgroups..

Have you tried growing up, stop lying and stop promoting ubuntu in this
MS ng?
You're one very rude, clueless, classless and selfish person.

Open 'Printers'
right click on the printer you wish to use as default
select 'set as default printer'
big green check mark icon appears on the printer

Only by people like you that don't know any better and stubbornly refuse
to learn. What happened to your "Posting Productively" link?

It wasn't specifically mine, but I would suggest that the original web site
was either down or had been hijacked, most likely by a Linux user.. :-)

Sadly, even insults don't appear to work for you. What kind of asshole,
after being told numerous times that top posting with a sig breaks REAL
newsgroup clients, would continue to ignore all these pleas to correct the
situation? Only an asshole like you, that is so pompous as to continue
posting against Usenet rules.

Cheers.
