Internet Explorer 6 on Win XP reverts to Print Setting defaults

here is a problem that does not affect Windows 2000 but does affect
Win XP



If you open Internet Explorer 6, select a page, go to Page Setup, you
will find the page size set to Letter by default. You can change this
and verify that your printer is set to Legal, click all the OK and
Apply buttons and print. Note that you have already set all printers
to print to legal size.



But, once you close out Internet Explorer and then re-open, it has
forgotten the page setup.



Remember, your printers are properly configured to print Legal and do
print that size from all other programs, just not IE.

Any solutions?
Thanks,
Tech Hayes

Have you tried adjusting your printer's default settings through the
Control Panel rather than via an app?
