This feature is also called as Location aware printing.

Now if you change the network your default printer settings also changes.

This will open a window which will either let you select same printer for all network or another section where you can select first the network and then the printer and map it.

Now you will see menu item “Manage Default Printer” listed, click on that.

In the printer section first select any of the already listed printer.

The list of printer ports can be found at: Start > Settings (gear icon) > Devices > Printers. Windows will not be able to complete any task that requires that port. Now Windows 7 allows you to configure a different default printer with a different location on a 1 : 1 basis. If you connect a USB printer to Windows 10 version 1903 or later, then shut down Windows and disconnect or shut off the printer, when you start Windows again the USB printer port will not be available in the list of printer ports. Windows allows you to keep one printer as default but that doesnt change when you change to another location right ? Yes but with Windows 7 its little smarter. Now with change of network, devices which in this case is Printer also changes. For example I connect to my home network in morning, office network in day and sometimes to my friends network when i visit him. It’s a common scenario where people move with their laptop from one network location to another all the day.
