171410 - Printing properties aren't loaded

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 166217

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Bert Van Vreckem]

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1) Click on the Print button or choose File|Print from the menu, click `Properties'
2) Chance some settings (What I use is A4 as paper size and `kprinter --stdin'
instead of `lpr' as printing command. 
3) Confirm and  print the page.
4) Close browser and restart.
5) Repeat step 1) and notice that the default settings (Letter format, lpr) are
still in effect.

* MORE INFO

This bug is closely related too bug 169183 and bug 118563, but it's _not_ a
duplicate. Behold an excerpt of my prefs.js: 

user_pref("print.printer_PostScript/default.print_command", "kprinter --stdin
${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}");
...
user_pref("print.printer_PostScript/default.print_paper_name", "A4");
...

So, the changed settings are saved, but apparently not loaded again?

* MOZILLA VERSION

This was checked on the stable Mozilla 1.1 release.

This is the same as bug 166217 ("Print settings on Linux are saved at shutdown
but not read at next start") which was checked-in into "trunk" after 1.1 was
released. Maybe - if we're lucky - the patch makes it into 1.0.2 - but I am not
sure whether this will happen or not.
