Well, look at other Windows programs: There the settings are only remembered for
the session, and then restored to the default settings entered in the printer
properties.

With all due respect Jens, I believe you've misunderstood the bug I'm reporting.
The problem is that the changed settings are not even remembered for the
session. In other words, no matter what I change the printer quality to be, it
always uses the default value.

Well, I understand, I reported a similiar bug for Linux.

I just wanted to light up a little what could be seen as "expected behavior",
and that is probably what other Windows programs do.
