I don't recall having this problem in the past but I'm having it now. I
have to change the printer when I call up the dialog to print something.
Prints fine. But next time I print my previous printer is selected again. I
tried Firefox help on default printer but didn't see anything. Lots of
unhelpful stuff - help is text dialogs between users and FF evidently. This
will take a while, Can anyone please save me the trouble? Other aps I've
tried like Eudora email client and Xnews newsreader are set to the last
printer used - correctly,

The correct printer is checked in the printer portion of the Control Panel.

Thanks.

If you are using a Linux system I suggest setting the default printer using
CUPS.

Sorry, we are not clairvoyant. What specific OS, what specific version
of FF and how is FF being used? Do you clear the cache/history when FF
is closed, are you using the private browsing setting, etc?

the default printer is set through the OS not the programme.

Except the op is using firefox and that is obviously not some ****

XP Home Control Panel printer setting says correct printer is selected.
Firefox does not use this printer for some reason though other Windows
aps that I've tried do. Seems to be a Firefox problem?

I think I missed the actual issue. FF will remember the last printer
chosen. It will NOT revert back to the default printer you have to
chose this and actually print something. After you print the chosen
printer is remember for the next session.

That's just what it doesn't do. Example. I print something in Firefox. It
offers my old HP printer. I Change the printer to Canon. Print the page.
(Always only use the Canon with any other aps too if needed - the HP is
no longer available.) Next time I print in FF the HP shows up again so I
have to change it to Canon. Print. And so on for ever.
