Print setup form default settings


Recommended Posts

Every once in a while I end up with unwanted printed pages, due to (what I consider) two counter-intuitive default settings on the print setup form:

1. After each print the "Range" option is reset to "Document" and the "Pages" field is cleared. Consequently, when only select pages of a multipage document need to be repeatedly printed out, it is easy to neglect the change and the whole document is printed

2. On the other hand, the "Copies" field is not reset after printing one batch, so it is easy to overlook this, particularly when printing from time to time or when working with several files.

In combination, these two "features" can result in even more wasted pages, as happened to me several times.

I would suggest considering the following changes:

a) keep the "Range" setting and "Pages" field unchanged over a session, unless the file for print is changed; these should be reset only at restart of Publisher

b) the "Copies" field should be reset after each print

I completely agree with all of above and I am surprised that nobody has answered in over three years.
The amount of times I want to print a single page to check layout or show someone for spelleing etc and every single time I have to look for the "current page" option and rarely print the whole book.
