Let's pretend that this kick in the nuts named "Outlook" is entirely mandatory.
Let's further pretend that you have an email which you want to print
out so that it can be used to beat someone over the head with.
So you select the email, and click "Print", right?
Well no. That will print you a list of the emails in your mailbox,
which is a feature I've _never_ understood.
So you click the email so that it opens up in its own window, and
click "Print" there, right?
Yes. Well it will only let you print to the default printer, sorry
about that. That's not what we want.
So you click "Reply" on the email and open up another window, then
click "Print" on that window.
NOW you can select a non-default printer. Except of course you are
printing your "reply", meaning the nice fancy header section will be
ALL WRONG.
</gibber>
As a result of this (and other) nonsense, I've installed a
PDF-printer as the default device and now print to _that_ instead.
Doing this also has the pleasant side effect of making information
sent to collegues much less likely to be "accidentally" doctored
after the fact.
/me waits for PDF hate.
