The Silence Map

Asked on Super User by Paul Verschoor, 4 years ago. No reply there for at least a week.

When printing on Windows, the printer settings are not saved, they keep on being reseted (but not for all settings)

While trying to set the settings for a printer, every time I go into the settings, apply them, press ok and then go back, I notice my settings are not saved. For example, the Paper Source keeps getting back to Auto-Select . If I set it on Tray1 it is saved, but when I choose a more 'exotic' option, it doesn't. What could be the reason that this happens?
