Binary package hint: firefox

Environment:
OS: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala)
Package: firefox-3.5 (3.5.8+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1)
Problem:
I print from firefox and change print settings, like select destination printer, margins, header, footer and so on. In about:config option 'print.save_print_settings' is set to true. Finally do print.
Immediately after previous print I do print again and I suspect to get same settings (destination printer, margins, header, footer ...) that I set for last print, but unfortunately I get default print settings (destination printer, margins, header, footer ...).
All this is happen in same browser session.
Problem also reflect on our extension that we developed for Firefox (jsPrintSetup https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8966).
The extension using nsIPrintSettings interface to manage print settings also encounter problem with select destination printer.
Independently from selected nsIPrintSettings.printerName Firefox always print to default for operating system printer.
