256680 - Current selected printer not saved after print

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 308173

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Pete Zha]

If you have more than one printer in your print list. Including postscript
printer and xprint printers, you will find the default selected printer is
always the first one of the list. So, you need to select the printer everytime
you print. It very inconvenient.
Steps:
1) Setup more than one printer in your printer list. eg. export
MOZILLA_POSTSCRIPT_PRINTER_LIST="test1 test2 test3 test4"
2) Open Mozilla and open File->Print
3) Select "test3" in the list and click "Print"
4) Open File->Print again

You will find the select printer is "test1" or "Postscript/Default" again

expect result:
Should select "test3" when open the dialog

Just a comment -- This feature isn't really specific to the postscript driver,
is it? Is it appropriate to put the pref under "print.postscript"?

This is very annoying, I am having the same issue with Mozilla 1.7.6 running
on Linux x86_64 with CUPS 1.1.22.

This patch is wrong.
This is XP bug. not UNIX only.

I try to create the patch in bug 308173. I will fix this bug soon.
