Two different printers on IE - margin prob

[Guest]

Have two printers USB attached to PC. Use web based application with IE (
Mindbodysoftware.com). PTR 1 is a receipt printer. PTR 2 is a page printer.
Use receipt printer for credit card transaction and page printer for
application report and general web printing.

Problem: When using page setup to do margins for each of the printers, the
margins "don't hold", are not saved and seemingly drift indiscriminately when
switching printers. For example set margins for both printers. Print report
by selecting page printer. Then do credit card transaction by selecting
receipt printer. Doesn't print properly because of margins don't stay set. We
have to redo the margins each time for each use.

Guess the basic question is "does IE page set up save margins or is each
print job unique?"

IE only holds one set of margins, not a set for each printer, so you
cannot "set margins for both printers"
You can see those in the Registry under the key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup

If I had the problem, I would create a small .reg file for each and
merge it before changing but someone is sure to come up with a more
elegant solution.

Do you know if IE 7 beta or actual would answer this issue??

No idea but you can ask there.

I see in http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie7/default.mspx that
the recommended newsgroup is microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

In a proper newsreader:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

If you must use a web interface:
