Switch Default Computer Printers Automatically

Automatic Printer Switcher is a helpful tool for users who work in computing environments with multiple printers that are used regularly for different print jobs. The free program can be used to link document types or programs with printers so that it becomes possible to configure default printers for each which are then automatically selected in the print jobs

The default printer configuration is a two step process. The program lists all connected printers and their assigned application in its interface. A click on the Add program button will list all open application windows.

It is now possible to select applications and assign a default printer to them. Program windows need to be open to assign the printer mapping.

Automatic Printer Switcher needs to be running in the background to redirect the print jobs to the configured printers.

The user needs to execute the printing functionality of the application normally, the selection of the default printer will be handled by Printer Switcher.

Automatic Printer Switcher requires the Microsoft .net Framework 3.5. It is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit editions of multiple Windows operating systems including Windows 7.

The program can be downloaded from the developer’s website. The program currently has no homepage with additional information.
