A little more investigation shows: 1. Cleaned printers out of prefs.js 2. Started SM 3. Printed to Printer WIN Default "A" 4. Printer "A" now shows up in about:config and prefs.js (after closing SM) 5. Started SM 6. Printed to Printer "A" 7. Selected a new Printer "B" (Printer "A" remains WIN Default printer) 8. Printed to Printer "B" 9. Printer "B" now shows up in about:config and prefs.js after Printer "A" entries. (after closing SM - Printer "A" remains WIN Default) 10. Started SM 11. Printer now prints to Printer "B" 12. Repeat steps 7 to 10 replacing "B" with "C" 13. Repeat steps 7 to 10 replacing "C" with "D" Now my SM default printer is Printer "D" (WIN Default still "A") Printer "D" is the last printer that shows in about:config and prefs.js print.save_print_settings is set to true It appears that each time a different printer is selected when printing from SeaMonkey, SeaMonkey reverts back to the last printer in line in the about:config table after the print job and, if not previously in the config file adds the printer just used after the previously entered printers. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
