Why does the printer memorise the last one used?

This is causing extra work unnecessarily.

I use 3 different printers on my pc, a label printer for shipping labels a b/w laser and a colour laser. The majority of printing is on the b/w so that is set as default, but when I wish to print a label on the TEC it uses up multiple labels initially but works properly 2nd time. When I then go to print something on the laserI have to reselect it, even if FF has been closed down in the meantime and it produces a shrunken image in the middle of the page, but again prints correctly 2nd time.

How can I stop wasting time and resources having to print everything twice?

Please see these troubleshooting steps to help save time on each time you print. Please be sure to check the properties before you print.

Followed the advice there and nothing has changed.

I have just tried to print an invoice but it is shrunk to roughly a5 size but if i then hit print again it prints it out a4 size, exactly as previously.
