I can't see a way to re-order the list? I've got what should be my default printer about halfway down the list.

Can you not just “mouse” it and move it up?
I have found that, if I select it, and print (even a test page) next session it has indeed, moved to the top as the default

It doesn't remember it in this case unfortunately :(. Thanks for persisting with this!

I'll report back if I hear anything from the bug report.

Try this! I was able to get it work with this change.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge (Edge Key(Folder) needs to be created) then create DWORD 32-bit Value: "PrintPreviewUseSystemDefaultPrinter", Value data: must be set to "1". After reboot this finally works.
