cant make my printer default printer

Please describe step-by-step how you're attempting to set your new printer as the default printer and describe exactly what happens (you shouldn't need to be logged in to an "administrator" account).

Please open Devices and Printers and list all of the icons in the "Printers and Faxes" section. Do any of these items show a warning icon? Right-click on the icon for your new printer, select "Printer properties" and click "Print Test Page." What happens?

What is the make and specific model of your new printer?

 

Setting Default Printer via Startup Script

I do it with VB logon scripts


"Dim ps0 [<------ our printer server the printers are added/managed on]
Dim printer

ps0 = "\\ps0\"
printer = "S14 - Oki ES4140" [<------- the name of the printer as it is shown on the server]

Set wshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
on Error Resume Next

'Deletes all network printers
Set clPrinters = wshNetwork.EnumPrinterConnections
On Error Resume Next
For i = 0 to clPrinters.Count - 1 Step 2
wshNetwork.RemovePrinterConnection clPrinters.Item(i+1), true
Next

'Add Network printer
wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection ps0 & printer

'Set Default Printer
wshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter ps0 & printer" [<------ this bit sets it as default (note: this must be applied as the first policy before any other printers policies, otherwise it deletes them)]
