When I click on print, the default paper size is 11x8.5.  I want it to be 11x17.  How do i change the default setting?

Click on Printer properties.  Hopefully your printer can support tabloid (11x17) sized paper.

yes it does. but when i change it, it does not stay at 11x17 it reverts back to 11x8.5. i belive the problem is with adobe there has to be a setting to keep it at 11x17. at one time it was set at 11x17 by defualt.

@david7070 did you ever get this fixed? I have a similar issue when printing from Adobe Acrobat DC Pro from a MacBook (Monterey) to a large MFP printer. The printer has 11x17 tabloid paper, and I can change the print settings, but then Acrobat has the pdf defaulted to 8x11 letter size and refuses to print to any other size.
