How exactly are you choosing the local printer? If you click File, Print
and select the printer in any Office application then click OK the document
should print to the local printer.

It may be that the program (you don't specify what program you are trying to
print from but I have one that I have to set the printer first, then print
with a separate command) doesn't accept the changes from that menu item.
