User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7 I frequently print 2 pages per page to save paper. From Print dialog > Properties > Pages Per Sheet I set this number to "2". If I browse to a different URL and want to print it, I have to reset the Pages Per Sheet setting to 2 again. This setting should be saved (just like the others are). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Browse to any long Web page. 2. Open the Print Dialog (File > Print... or CTRL + P or click the Print icon). 3. Click the Properties... button. 4. Set the Pages Per Sheet setting to 2. 5. Click OK to accept the Properties changes. 6. Click OK to print. 7. Browse to some other Web page and print it. It will print 1 page per sheet - the Pages Per Sheet setting has been set back to 1. Actual Results: The Pages Per Sheet setting does not appear to be saved, and always defaults back to "1". Expected Results: I expected it to save my changes. It saves other changes (Portrait vs. Landscape, for example).
Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!

I can reproduce this with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032620 Firefox/3.0b5. If I go through "Printers and Faxes" (through the OS and not Firefox), change the same settings, and click OK, the Pages Per Sheet setting is saved. Sam, does Firefox influence whether settings that are changed via the STR are saved, or is it outside of Firefox's control?
