A file type should have a default application property to be used in the absence of an explicit printer-file type relationship. In other words, if there is no associated print program on the printer-file type relationship, the default application specified on the file type is used in batch printing.

The best fit is determined by the first printer that has an explicit printer-file type relationship. If none is found, the first printer is used.

The user's settings.xml file is used to store this default value.
