visio sends to wrong printer

[Neil Evans]

This only happens with Visio, Whichever printer I select it always sends it
to the basic black and white printer. Which is not the one it displays in
Print Options.

Suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I had same problem. What ever printer I selected it would only send it to
the printer windows had defined as default.
Quick work around is to go to control panel and temporarily change your
default.
I ended up re-installing visio for the permanent fix.

Two Questions: Which version of Visio and have you applied the latest
Service Packs?

I believe there was an issue with choosing the printer in Visio 2003 that
was fixed in the first Service Pack.

I do not have the laptop with me today, but they both sound like sensible
answers, I shall test them out tomorrow.

Thanks for your time
