284534 - Firefox forgets printer settings

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 242134

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Misha Kruk]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

If I go to Print and then to Properies I'm presented with properties dialog for
the currently selected printer.  I select some printing options (e.g.
Black/White instead of the default Color), accept the change (OK button), print
the document.
Then I go to print another document and the settings are reset back to defaults
(in my case Color).  This is with HP Deskjet 710 printer, but I'm reasonably
sure it's not printer dependant.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. change print settings
2. print
3. print again

Actual Results:  
first print is done with my settings, the second print is with the defaults

Expected Results:  
both prints should be done with the same settings (e.g. Word remembers printer
settings)

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
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
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
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
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
