I work at a retail print shop and use photoshop often to print documents.

I've noticed ever since we upgraded to CS6, PS will save the print settings between unrelated files. Eg: I set the print settings to print 30 copies from a certain tray in our printer and grayscale. I quit the program. Then the next time I open a completely different customer file, hit print, the same settings (number of copies and all) are still set to print that document.

This seems like a good idea, but it makes for a lot of wasted paper when we are expecting to hit print and it go to the default settings.

I'm using a Windows 7 installed PC, if that makes any difference.

In Version CS6, when you hold down the space bar when selecting File >
Print, the previous print settings for the document will be ignored.

Having this capability is useful if you have a file with corrupted
print settings. This command enables you to specify the print settings
from scratch.

Why not try using an action or script to run your print job? You could have one-click functionality for any combination of print jobs.

I know this doesn't 'solve' the specific issue, but removes it with a superior and customized workflow. In addition to time saved, it would also remove user error as the print settings are preset in the script.
