Default Printer Changing at Random

We have a few users whose default printer continues to change at random and I'm looking for some guidance. We're running Instant-Clones w/ Windows 10 21H2. We're mapping users printers entirely with DEM and we've looked into selecting 'default printer' on the DEM Management Console, but in this case, we aren't able to select this for all users in the security group as they're dispersed over the building. We're collecting these settings related to printers

For example, in the flexengine log file attached, on 1/16/23 the printers are attached and the default printer is \\print-01\ELS-2235 but on logout the default is copy-room-265. The user has assured me that they did not change this themselves and I'm curious about the line '2023-01-16 16:36:15.009 [DEBUG] VMware Integrated Printing does not support required logic for default printer management'. 

Is this causing a conflict and do we need to disable something via GP? we are not using Integrated Printing through the Horizon Agent on any of our pools.
