I don't think a setting that affects loading alone is the proper way to deal
with this. When I create a document I want to make sure that it works for the
recipient of that document. I have no control over the recipient's computer. I
want a way to make sure that when the recipient prints my document it comes out
of the printer he expects, because otherwise it means trouble for him and for
me. In a corporate setting with lots of network printers it is very likely that
the document creator and the reader have access to the same printer (or worse, a
like-named printer) although the printer may be several floors away from the
reader. 

This can be more than an inconvenience. This can result in breach of
confidentiality. It's not unlikely that the recipient and the sender have access
to a printer with the same name. When a confidential document comes out of the
wrong printer this can be a disaster. It's happened to me that I printed on the
wrong printer (although fortunately nothing confidential), because the creator
of the document had a like-named printer installed (Happens easily when printers
have creative names such as "Kyocera Mita 08/15"). And the worst thing about
this is that you won't even notice. You click the print icon, check the printer,
nothing's coming out, you think something went wrong and try again. If you go
via File/Print the 2nd time and just select the correct printer without thinking
about why there's a wrong default, you won't realize that there's an extra copy
of your document lying in an unrelated printer tray.

The point is: If you want to have only one option, have that apply to saving the
document. The important thing is to give document *creators* a reliable way to
make sure that their documents will work for their recipients. That's the thing
that's missing. Those who print documents have always been able to change the
target printer via Printer Settings.
