Drawing default printer assign to user login

Drawing default printer assign to user login

Drawing default printer assign to user login

(OP)
In a month or so several of us will be moved to a new area. Designers will have our high use printer/copier; we drafters will use a new printer.
My question is, user one will open Drawing A, make changes and print it to the Savin 2545. User two will open this drawing, save as, update it for a new client, and print it, however it prints to the Savin 2545 which is in a another part of the office, is there a way, (LISP) or other to have the printer assigned by the users log in name?

I'm looking for a routine that will update the drawings default printer per user login name. When I open a drawing it will print to my default printer. If some one a week later opens that same drawing, does a save as to a new name it will automatically use there default printer because of there user login.
