99683 - print settings not saved

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 83750

(Core Graveyard :: Printing: Xprint, defect)

Description

[Manfred Paschke]

All changes in the print GUI will be lost when exiting Mozilla (they are not
written to prefs.js). I managed to change the default paper size to A4 by
manually editing the prefs.js file (copied the corresponding line from Netscape
4's liprefs.js file), but I think users expect automatic saving of their print
settings like it's done in Netscape 4.

My prefs.js file:

Yep, this is a dupe. Verifying.
