Multiple printers: printing settings are not loaded or remembered correctly
Evince 3.28.4 on LinuxMint 19.3, Cinnamon 64bit
I need to print a lot of different documents (PDF) - sometimes greyscale, sometimes colour, sometimes one-sided, sometimes duplex... To make this task easier, I duplicated my one physical printer in LinuxMint and set the defaults to a) grey/one-sided, b) grey/duplex, c) colour/one-sided, d) colour/duplex. This way, upon printing I only have to select the right printer with one click instead of stepping through and adjusting all the print settings all the time.
This works very well with other applications (e.g. LibreOffice), but unfortunately not with Evince (any more; in the past Evince did load printer defaults correctly when another printer is selected, but this feature broke sometime around June/July 2019, or so...).
I see two possibilities:
- Always load the default settings of a printer (as set in LinuxMint's printer setup). Selecting a different printer loads the default settings of that newly selected printer. Or:
- Remember the last used printing settings on a per-printer basis.
Thanks a great lot!
