Bug Description

When I click File -> Print (CTRL+P), click on Preferences, change some things (like Width/Length/etc.) and click OK, I click on Preferences again and see that preferences didn't save(most of them, except rotation). On other "printers" they do save(like Microsoft XPS Document Writer, Microsoft Print to PDF).

I'm using "Roland SV-15 Cutter". I tried changing Preferences on Microsoft Notepad(the same editor on System32 directory) and preferences save.

I have contacted to Roland Support, they said drivers work fine.

EDIT: Tested with another printer (to be exact, Lexmark CS310 Series PS3 using LAN), settings/preferences doesn't save when I click OK.

Tested on Windows XP(old pc), Windows 7 (x64, laptop), Windows 10 (x64, tested on two builds, old and newiest one on same laptop that I tested Windows 7).

Bug appears on all of these OS that I tested.

This is a really important bug for me, I cannot print some stuff without changing preferences.
