In our network there are about 5 printers networked, all shared through the main server. However, recently, no default printer was able to be set. Regardless of how many times the "set as default printer" option was clicked, no little check mark would appear on the printer icon. I tried deleting all the printers and then reinstalilng, but after each "add printer" it would display an error message "default printer cannot be set" Do not know what to do.

Hi,
Well what i think of it that when you install your Printer with the cd's setup that much not been done correctly try to first install that again.. and then check and secondly when you install your printer install as Administrator rights of the server. Rights could also be possible cause of the problem.
