Default printer changes for the active application

Guys/Gals

Just spotted an Odd "functionality" in Office 2003 Apps... I've also replicated this on three other machines of the same build.

1: -Open an email in MS Outlook 2003, click file print and select a printer other than your default printer and print the email.

2: -Now open a different email and hover your mouse courser over the printer icon. (Hopefully you'll get the same issue) and see that outlook is pointing to the none default printer.

If you check Printers and faxes, windows will still have your original default printer set. Simply restarting the effected App or using the file print menu to re select your desired printer it will revert the setting back.

I have also replicated this in MS Word 2003.

Anyone else getting the same?

Interesting.

I've also had a search on the MS Knowledge Base and Premier site but nothing was listed in my searches (Saying that, I wasn't quite sure how to word it).

If anyone else has a spare 5 mins to check that would be sweet.
