Simply changing the printer and saving works for me.  It has been a feature
of Word, for as long as I remember, that you associate a document with a
printer.
Select File, Print, pull down the appropriate printer in the printer name
list, click on 'cancel' if you don't need a print out now, and select file,
save.  The document will remember the selected printer.

If this is not working then the assigned job printer person has a different
assignment in windows on their desktop for the same network printer than the
author of the document.  Hopefully, you are using a networked printer and
the printer driver is in a shared folder that everyone used to install from.
The most common problem I have seen like yours is that one user has
installed a 'compatible' driver for the network printer.  When they open the
word document, they can't match the saved printer definition with the
printers they have installed on their desktop, so they print to their
desktop's default printer.

Is it possible to save a word document in such a way that when it is
used again it will automatically print from a specified printer that isn't
the default?

There are several documents in an office that need to be printed in
colour. The person doing the job always forgets to change from the
default mono printer to the colour one. Can "print to a specific
printer" be built into the file itself?
