Under Printers and Faxes, click a printer to select it.

In the menu bar, click Manage Default Printers.

In the Manage Default Printer dialog box, click Change My Default Printer when I change Networks, specify which printer should be the default for each network then click OK.

In the Select Network list, click a network.

In the select Printer list, click a printer to use as the default printer for that network.
