Hallo

TESTCASE:

-Type something
-From menu File select Print - Properties - Device
-Set 'Print Quality' to something different from 'Standard'
-Do the same with others settings.
-Close all and Calc too and restart it
-From File menu do the same as above and you can see all you have set reverted to default

Fabio Marconi, setting default print options is documented in https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Print_3 .
Comment 2 Fabio Marconi 2012-12-30 11:36:23 UTC
The settings changed in the way I use are remembered by Gedit but not by L.O., also in the way suggested by the help page I've got only few controls.
I dunno if the printer settings page that appear is from cups or L.O., but in every case is a fault in L.O. not remembering it's settings
Thanks
Fabio

Fabio Marconi, printer device specific default preferences are set by the package system-config-printer.

Comment 5 Fabio Marconi 2012-12-30 16:17:00 UTC
Ok, great suggestion.
The 'printer settings' window of L.O. cannot change the settings of system-config-printers, so everytime it is launched takes the value from system-config-printers, but in contrast to what it show, it cannot modify these settings.
Imho this is a bug, Gedit works right, it change the default settings (system-config-printers) then when it complete it's work, it resert to default (if it is the way, or it simply override the system-config-printer printing directly as it need), i'm not expert.
Hope this time I explain better.

uhm, L.O. can change the settings, but it don't remember for the next restart
