Cannot print directly from Print preview

Within a Gantt chart, Selecting print preview and then hitting print from
there, the printers are "greyed out". This is true for Project 2k and 2k3 on
different machines on different files. Doing some research, I have found that
print preview uses a generic print driver to populate the print page and
toggling through installed printers is not possible. Is this by design or is
their a fix. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try selecting a different printer in the File, Print dialog before clicking
Preview. Failing that, try setting a different printer as your default
printer (via the Control Panel).

Print preview should use your selected or default printer driver to create
the preview.

Before Print Preview, pick the printer (and settings) you want. The
printer selection seems to be greyed out and unchangable by design.
Probably becuase the display is per the selected printer. I don't think
it uses a generic printer to create the preview. That wouldn't make a
lot of sense since it wouldn't be a preview.
