File->Print to last used printer

Scenario:
Inside any Office application (I'm using Outlook 2003 for this)
Open a document(email), click File->Print
Now, instead of using the Default printer, select a different printer from
the dropdown box and print the doc. Close this document.

Now open a different document, and click File->Print
Notice that the Last Used printer is the one that Outlook will print to.

Is there a way to make this revert back to the Default printer automatically?

Click to expand...

The only way that I've found (I'm hoping someone else does know how)
is to close the application and reopen it.

Well, you could simply select the default printer to print to it again. But
the fact that it retains the last printer you used is a feature I don't want.
Especially when corporate confidential documents are concerned.

As everyone in corporate IT knows, execs aren't always the most receptive to
IT, and when they have to perform an extra step to print that confidential
document on their 'default' printer, it doesn't make sense to them. (Nor I
for that matter, why not make it default always, instead of 'last used')
