""No default printer found" in the ProSeries Printer Setup options

When attempting to print a return in ProSeries Professional or ProSeries Basic will display the error "No Default Printer Found". Additionally, Printer Setup under Print Options will also display "No Default Printer" and Change will be grayed out or disabled.

This error message can be generated when the computer doesn't have a Windows default printer selected. Check and see if Windows has a default printer configured to resolve this error message in ProSeries.
