Default Word retains printer settings

Hello,

I got an annoying problem in Word 2003 regarding printing.
It seems that Word keeps the printer settings, even after you closed Word.

Example:
The printer prints from tray 1 (default driver settings)

- Document A has been printed, (manually chosen) from paper-tray 4. (special paper)
- Word is closed.
- I open Document B and press print. Annoyingly this also prints from tray 4, however tray 1 should be default.

I discovered the settings are kept because of Outlook, which remains open all day. If Outlook is open, the settings are kept until you close both word and outlook. Is there any way I can work around this problem?

Excel doesn't have these problems, cause Outlook only uses Word as the mail editor.
