Custom Printer Preferences resetting after restarting Printer Spooler Services/Restarting PC

I have come across a third PC whereby if I Create a New Form with a different paper size, Save the Form and set the new Form as the printer's preference it will save correctly.

but when I restart the printer spooler service/restart the PC the custom Form I created for the printer is reset to another existing form (e.g. Letter)

This started in 2022, could it be a windows 10 update regression? (because I am not experiencing this issue on windows 7/server 2012) or has someone solved this?

Current Solution: When I restart the spooler and custom preferences are reset and set them again and restart the spooler again too, then all will be good for a while(days) before custom preferences are auto-reset

Hi Rodrigo,

What and all steps have you tried so far?

Restart the computer and check.

Also, check for Windows updates.

I suggest you to run the Printer Troubleshooter and check if it helps.

  In Search window type Troubleshooting and click on it to open it.

  Click on Hardware and Sound.

  Then click on Printer to run the troubleshooter. Follow onscreen steps.
  

 

Printer advice

hp printers have the most expensive ink of all printers, the most economical is cannon and epson so i suggest if you looking to keep costs down look at those brands.

that being said it may not have the best print quality if it uses less costly ink.

if keeping cost down is the most important then shop in reverse, find a brand that has cheap replacement ink cartridges then see what printers they are used on. then from that list look to see if you like any of those printers and if they are affordable to you, if not then select another ink cartridge and look at the printers that those are used on. this method will give you the most affordable printer and the cheapest cost of replacement ink.

personally i use the refillable ink cartridges like these: http://www.inkproducts.com/ink-store/catalog/Our-Epson-Refill-Kits-orderby0-p-1-c-4.html
