Change your default printer depending on your location with Windows 7

Windows 7 includes an option to change the default printer depending on what network location is used.  To configure this feature, access the Devices and Printers dialog box.  Select one printer to display additional menu selections.  Then click on the “Manage default printers” menu option.

A new dialog box should appear with drop-down boxes for both network locations and printers.

One location entry is “no network”, which could be used for a XPS or PDF print queue when no network connectivity is available.
