Description Pedro Villavicencio 2007-12-19 18:21:01 UTC 
This bug has been filled here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/161849

"When evince is closed and another document opened, the printer settings should be taken from the printer setup. Instead, any changes from the last document are remembered - change duplex settings, paper tray, even print only page 2 are carried over.

It's nearly impossible to print something straightforwardly"

Thanks,

Still printer settings "forgotten", e.g. in ubuntu Hardy.

When I use [File|Print setup...] to change for example from Letter to A4, evince never remembers it after closing and re-opening. True, I use an English layout (letter seize papers), but only print in A4. As I can change this setting in evince I would expect Evince to remember it.

Thanks for looking into that one more time!

I don't believe this bug has been resolved. It is not a duplicate of 488806 which only pertains to the per document printing settings (page range, etc...). Evince still remembers settings like simplex/duplex, resolution, paper type, etc... It's very annoying. I configured default printing settings in *CUPS* for a reason. Why does evince ignore them?

Thanks!
