It may be the same in Basic but in Professional: File > Print Options > Printer, PDF, and DMS Setup > Change > Select default printer > OK

I only have a copy of Basic for 2022, but I dont see any Printer setting Options anywhere like Professional gives us, have you checked in your Windows Printer settlings and make sure youve got a Default Printer chosen?

Ahhh you have to be outside a client file to get any printer options.

In Windows Settings, Devices, Printers, turn off for "Let Windows manage my printer." You want the software to be where you control printing.
