The thing is I tried every name I can think of to set this default printer

"Yellow Printer Kyocera FS-1800" Error 2
"Yellow Printer Kyocera FS-1800 on Server" Error 2
"\\server\fs-1800n" Error 2
"fs-1800n" Error 2

I'm out of ideas as to what name to use cause I've tried those and I have gotten nowhere.

I must be missing something simple but I've no idea what.

Ok solved it myself, it doesn't just use the printer name, infact Windows seems to use a naming system I had until no never seen.

"\\SERVER\Yellow Printer Kyocera FS-1800"

Here a suggestion so other people don't have a problem, stick this as an example in the manual or the forum FAQ, it's not obvious to user \\%servername%\%printername on server%
