How to make default printer in Active Directory domain for a computer?

Good afternoon Comrades.
We have about 300 Windows 10 workstations in our organization. Each workstation has its own printing device (printer, MFP) connected via USB.
Workstations are not assigned to employees. Employees can work at any workstation by logging into it with their account in the Active Directory domain (2008R2)
When an employee first logs into a workstation, a profile is created on it, in which the printer is not selected by default.
How can I set the default printer for all accounts, every time I log into a workstation, given that printers can sometimes change?

I would do it a little differently. As a rule, the location of printers changes less frequently than the position of employees.
I would create "departments" or location-like OUs, and when I deploy the print server, I would associate a printer with that OU.

Through group policies in the "Printers" section, add the desired printer and "Target" it by the desired property, this can be User, PC, Group, terminal server, etc.

GPO Preferences allows you to do this "normally" through GPO policies
