Printing to Non-default printer

[Azor]

Hey,

I'm having a problem when printing to a non-default printer in Internet
Explorer. In Printers and Settings I have the non-default printer set
to A3, and Landscape. The non-default printer always adopts the default
page size (A4) and portrait, from the default printer when chosing it
in IE. I need to manually change it back to A3, landscape every time I
want to print to the non-default printer. I've changed the default
printer to Letter, A5 etc to see what happens, and the non-default
printer adopts that page size as well even when in the windows settings
it remains at A3. So this is definately an IE specific problem.

Windows and IE versions, please?

How are both of these printers connected to your PC. If they both are
connected per USB cable, there are no fixes for your situation.....period.

previous settings.
