Windows gives you no choice but to use the default printer when using the Send To right-click menu. This is not problematic if you only use one printer but if you are working in a place with several printers it could become a nuisance. There is always a way though to make things work the way we want them to.
It is possible to add any printer to the Send To menu. To do this we have to open the SendTo folder which is located in Documents and Settings / userprofile / if you are using Windows XP and in the AppDate \ Roaming \ Microsoft \ Windows folder if you are using Windows Vista.
Create a new folder in the SendTo folder and name it Printers.{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}. The icon will change to the printers icon and you can double-click it to access all of the known printers. Drag and Drop the printer(s) into the SendTo menu which makes them available in the right-click menu.
