User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507

I set the printer settings so that the pages are printed in duplex mode for a
web site but when I visit another web site within the same session and want to
print another web site with duplex mode I find the the settings have reverted to
the default settings.

The printer settings are remembered within the same session in IE and Netscape 4.7


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit a web set site
2. Set your printer settings to print in duplex mode
3. Print your document
4. Visit another web site
5. Check the printer settings to find that duplex mode is not selected

Actual Results:  
Printer settings revert to default settings whenever a new page is visited.

Sorry, did a search and thought that all the bugs in the list were Firefox bugs.

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
