Print & "saved" printer-settings

Post by PMW »

Hi all!

Everytime I print a document in the pdf-viewer 2.5, the print-settings I have been chosing will be remembered for the next time. (e.g. page scaling, page range etc.) So if I print the next pdf, the "new default" settings will be the same as I printed the last pdf. In my case this is annoying.

Is there a way to disable this behaviour? That means: Doesn't matter if I change e.g. the scaling type for printing, my next print job will be set to "none" or "fit to printer margins"

I hope someone has an idea... :roll:

Thanx

Hi PMW,

you can't actually stop the Viewer from keeping those settings. When you make a change to the print dialogue it will be persitent as you pointed out.

Thanks for your answer,

but there is no way to avoid this behaviour? Maybe additional tools...

Because I normally use the "fit to printer margins"-setting. And sometimes I use "Multiple pages per sheet"-setting And if I forget to check/reset these settings before I print the next time, it prints in the wrong format... And this cost me a lot of paper! :(

Hi PMW,

I can ask the development team if it is possible, however I suspect however that given you are the first person to ever ask for this (that I know of anyway) and the fact that development focus is on finalizing V3 this is unlikely to see action, at least in the short term.

I've added it to the wish list so it's not forgotten.
