SELECT THE PRINTER AND CLICK PROPERTIES
General/Printing Preferences/Advance/Paper Size
Change to A5


THEN GO BACK (by clicking OK twice)
Advanced/Printing Defaults/Advance/Paper Size
Change to A6


Now when is the A5 used
and when is the A6 used?


I know if I open Wordpad it will start in A5
If I change in WordPad to B5
leave it and open it again it still starts in A5
Check the printer/properties and they are still A5 and A6


So what is Printer Defaults?
Where does it come from?
What is it used for?


Thanks for any info

The default is what is used by a "new" account. Printing preferences
will contain the "default" until you configure changes. Opening an app
will load "Printing Preferences" Any changes made in an app are only
used for that session of the app.
