Question

Printer Default

Hello,

   Is there a way to set up  Illustrator CC so that the printer coincides with the mac print settings? At the company I work for, we use a few different printers for different reasons.  I want to be able to set a default printer, and not last used.  I think I am printing 13 pages to a small Letter size printer, and end up printing 13 pages worth of film on an imagesetter.  Is there a way to set it up to default to the small printer, but have each file remember printer settings? The way it worked in Illustrator CS4 was how I need it to work now.  I hope this makes sense to everyone. I am not very good at explaining.

                                                                                                                                                                Thank You!

    Illustrator saves information about the printer in each file.

    Have you tried not saving the file after switching the printer?

    Ive been messing with it some, and it seems to be getting better.  I did start to notice this.  I have some files that I use as templates.  I may need to go back to those and print from them, and save those settings.  Maybe this will help.  Thank You!
