When you first select a printer driver from the Print dialog, a number of the printer driver configuration files' properties define the default settings in this dialog. You can use the dialog to change the settings, but they apply only for that session. The next time you select that printer driver, the settings revert to the values defined in the printer driver configuration file.

You could create a print definition file containing your settings, but you would have to remember to load this file, each time, prior to printing. Another method is to modify your printer driver configuration file to reflect your preferred default settings. This modified printer driver configuration file could be saved under a name that reflects its purpose.
