From the discussion in bug 124071...

The setting in 'Print range' (that's what it is on Win32, dunno about other
platforms) should be remembered from whatever you did last time, where
possible[*]. This remembered value should be a per-window
setting, not apply to all windows (because of the possibility of remembering an
old value for too long and doing the wrong thing), and should certainly not be
remembered between Mozilla sessions.

[*] This would not be possible in the following cases:
1) Where you selected 'selection' last time but don't have a selection this time.
2) You selected a page range last time that isn't valid for the current document.
In these cases, the setting should default back to 'All pages'.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click 'Print'
2. Change the 'Print range' to 'Pages...' or 'Selection'
3. Click OK to print the page
4. Later on *in the same window* click 'Print'


Actual Results:  Selection for 'Print range' has gone back to 'All'.

Expected Results:  Selection for 'Print range' should be remembered from the
last print.

The setting should be remembered on a per-window basis, not for all windows. It
should not be remembered across Mozilla sessions.

IE doesn't remember the range, and I can't think of any apps that do.
