Hi,
Is it possible, that you have accidentally disabled the saving of the
print settings?
In my Firefox 1.5.0.4 the values are saved to whatever I set them. In
about:config I have "print.save_print_settings true". I also have the
values print.printer_printername.print_edge_bottom, ...edge_left,
...edge_right and ...edge_top set to integer value 13 (the value in the
print dialog is 0.14). Unfortunately I don't know how those integer
values correlate to the values in the print dialog.
Just in case you haven't used about:config before, just type that into
the location field and hit enter. Then type 'print' into the filter
field to see the printing related preferences. Setting those values take
effect immediately and they are saved into the prefs.js file in your
$HOME/.mozilla/firefox/xyz123.default -directory.
