Thanks, I will test this. I don't understand why when I deleted the OpenILS folder didn't wipe out the prefs.js file. It should have, shouldn't it? I guess not.

Hold and Transit *slips* use the default context, for example, while some groups expect them to use the receipt context. To reset all printing related preferences you would need to wipe out the prefs.js file or the proper lines within it (or use the "about:config" interface from the admin menu) to remove all set preferences that start with "print.", as well as remove all gPrintSettings.* files from the chrome directory (profile or install directory, as appropriate). Once things are reset you would need to re-configure your printing, obviously, but extra settings will no longer be there.
