No -- this is not the same problem. My printer properties are sticking when saved in the document. The issue is with new documents. There is no way to change my print tray settings so that they apply to every new document as well. New documents, unless told otherwise, always print to Tray 1, whether or not I have changed the settings in the Printer Administration Tool prior to starting OpenOffice.org 2.0.2. Again -- if explicitly set to <ignore> in the tray settings while editing any particular document, the setting takes effect and the printer prints preferentially from trays containing paper, in the order Manual Feed (Tray 1) then Automatic Feed (Tray 2). Once that document is saved with those new printer settings, it will always print this way. New documents, however, default to Manual Feed (Tray 1), and it is not possible to fix the setting in the Printer Administration Tool *or* the document template. -Stephen- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
