Reader opens with wrong printer as default

Every time I open a document in Reader that I want to print, the printer chosen is one that's not connected to my computer. That printer is also not my Windows Default Printer.

I can't find anywhere in Reader Settings to select which printer I want to be the default (which happens to be the one I've set as the Windows Default. Is there a way to do this?

Adobe Acrobat Reader DC: continuous release; Version 2021.001.20145

Thanks,

Nancy Stevens

Reader uses the defaut printer of Windows, there's no additional setting for a default printer in it. The only reason I can think of is a script within the PDF document which selects a printer for you. However, this would have only effect on those PDFs that have such script implemented, which is very rare.

I have the same problem. Acrobat Reader doesn't select the Windows 10 default printer, it selects either my printer at home, or the Windows fax (which I have never used and is not set up). Happens regularly, I doubt it's anything to do with any script in the document. Using version 2021.007.20095|64 bit.
