Summary: Revit should have its own default printer

Description: Revit Default Printer: Allow Revit to have a different default printer from the Windows default printer. This would prevent a common error where the Windows default printer doesn't have large enough paper to handle the current page setup in the print settings. As it stands we must switch away from the Windows default to the desired printer to handle the desired page size.

How Used: Most of the time we use a large format printer with Revit, but have our Windows default printer set to a small laser printer for all of the other programs that we use. It would be nice if Revit would always default to this large format printer.
This is NOT a request to build a system like Autodesk did for AutoCAD sheet tabs! That is a horrible system! Just allow a simple option in the Settings/Options dialog that will allow the selection of a different default printer for Revit. This of course would default to the windows default printer.
