Remember printer's options

Post by vldi1 »

Hello!
I have HP LJ 5200 printer (eventually, it makes no matter). When I print a document, PDF-XChange Viewer can't remember printer's options such "EconoMode", "Portrait/Album orientation" and "Print on both sides of page".

Hello vldi1,

By "remember" do you mean during the same session printing several opened documents or between sessions including closing our Viewer completely?

If the case is the later then it is expected as our Viewer is starting with the default settings for your printer as it receives them from the printer drivers, and is keeping the changed ones while it is opened but when you close it it starts with the default settings the next time around. It is the same as in quite some other applications.

Regards,
Stefan

Hi vldi1,

Please let us know which Operating System are you using (XP, Vista Win 7), is it a 32 or 64 bit, are there any serivse packs installed, as well as the Viewer build (You can check this in Help -> About), and we will try to reproduce the problem.

Best,
Stefan
