This is how you restore the Default printer or Legacy printer setting (these uncheck “Let Windows manage my default printer”):

Registry

REG ADD “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows” /v “LegacyDefaultPrinterMode” /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f


Group Policy

Enable “Turn off Windows default printer management”

User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Printers
