Re: To be fair
Yes, but if windows is managing it you don't need to go in there and set a default at all.
You just select the printer you ant to print from when you're printing and windows remembers that choice for future.
So really, 4 clicks has become 1 additional one within the print dialog.
Unless you want to manually change the default and not have windows manage it which you absolutely can do, but it's probably not the case for most users.
