Release of Ubuntu: 13.04

Hallo

TESTCASE:

-Start writer or calc ecc.
-Type something
-From menu File select Print - Properties - Device
-Set 'Print Quality' to 'Fast Economy' or whatever 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

Thanks
Fabio

Hallo Christopher.
Sorry i don't explain well.
I rewrite the testcase to reproduce the bug.

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

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.
Thanks
Fabio

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

Created attachment 72305
this is the window i'm talking about

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

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.

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

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

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

so everytime i've to set it to fast economy
