OK, that explains it all. It's not a Skim bug, and works exactly as
expected. The print settings are only changed when the file
initially loads, not when it reloads. Doing it any other way would be
wrong, as it would overwrite possible edits to the print settings.
Note that reloading for tex etc is really a side issue for a PDF
viewer like Skim. It's supported, but that's all (it's not primarily
a tex previewer).
