So I am set up with a Network Printer as my default printer. All setting reflect this.
When I open Outlook 2016 the default printer always shows the local printer as the default and not the network printer so inevitably I have to go back into it and change it every time I log into outlook.
Is this a known issue and is there a fix?

- Open the Settings app.
- Go to the following page: Settings -> Devices -> Printers and Scanners.
- See the option named "Let Windows manage my default printer". Turn it off
- then select the defoult printer it will stay

You need to set Outlook to use that printer as its default. If the Network printer is just Discovered and not installed as a Printer, Office will sometimes default to the printer connected to the computer.
I use a Networked Laser, but have it installed on all machines as a local printer, which I have had zero issues with Office trying to change to a different device.
See this post about System > Settings being the culprit. Solved My Default Printer keeps changing - Windows 10 Forums
Fixed. Thank you gents.
