For some reason (which I don't understand, since it isn't saved as part of the file), when you change any of the default settings in the Print window, Finale feels as if you have entered some new data into the file itself, and therefore asks if you want to save the file.
My guess is that Finale is simply looking into some Windows generic buffer to see if any keypresses or mouse-clicks/drags have been made since the previous save command was issued, and if it sees any such activity, it prompts you as to whether you want to save again. It isn't smart enough to realize that you have entered such keypresses, etc. while in the print dialog so that it wouldn't save that data anyway. THAT, indeed, is an "unnecessary prompt to save."
