SYMPTOMS

When you print an Exchange message with an attachment, if the Print Attachments option is selected in the Print dialog box, the message body will be printed to the printer selected in this dialog box. However, the attachment will be printed to the Windows default printer.

If the selected printer is not the default printer, then the message and attachment output will be to two different printers.

If the Default Printer is the one that is selected when you choose Print on the File menu, the message and attachments will be printed to the default printer.

RESOLUTION

Change the default printer for Microsoft Windows to the desired printer before choosing Print from the File menu in Microsoft Exchange.
