Chris,
Does this have anything to do with the fact that Finale wants to use
the page setup of the default file you are using at the moment?
Don't know if this is part of the issue, but I'm just reminding you
of this in case, like me, your memory is good for modeling
Emmenthaler cheese.

Yes, I just noticed this again (FinMac 2005, OS 10.3.9)
I have been switching back and forth, trying out the capabilities
of my new (well, second-hand, really) HP 5100 printer to print 2-up
on one sheet of large paper, and I tried to set the Page Setup so
that it was Tabloid size and Landscape orientation, then saving it
as the default. I was only partially successful. A few pages
printed correctly, then suddenly the computer decided to default to
the OLD page setup (US letter and portrait.)
I had to check the Page Setup manually for EVERY page I printed!
Every one I checked was correct, but as soon as I DIDN'T check one,
it printed with the OLD default! Wacky or what?
Then when I tried to revert back to US Letter and Portrait and save
THAT as the default, it appeared to work, until I inadvertently
created a PDF that used the 11x17 landscape setting when I didn't
want it to. Crap! How did it remember that setting, especially
after I had EXPRESSLY saved the original default?
FWIW, I had NO problem defining the OTHER printer to be the default
printer, nor getting it to default to 2-up, nor getting it to feed
the paper from the correct tray. It was only in the Page Setup
dialogue box that I couldn't get it to work by default.
I can see this taking a whole lot of mouse clicks if I can't work
it out.
Anyone have any insights?
Christopher
