Printing scale

About 80% of the time when I try to print a PDF, or even to a printer for that matter, the printing scale changes on me. If I have several views to print from one drawing I have to tell it the same scale over and over; it won't keep the same scale as the most recent print. Is there a setting I don't know about?

Check the
Misc tab of the
Preferences dialog. If you have this option checked, the current
Plot Scale will be saved and recalled with GTVs.

It was already set that way. I'm still having the same problem.

I find the most reliable method on my PC is to select my Inkjet printer* first and the desired "preference" as if I wanted a paper-print; then select the .PDF-printer and "print". Otherwise I find going direct to the PDF-printer problematic. I have my "preferences" saved for letter-size and 11x17" plot sized. My full-size document is a 11x17" inkjet original on-paper in "B&W-only" to save color ink, ...I rarely actually print in color. For construction drawings I find that the std.-quality ink-saver mode is dark-enough. My normal letter-sized business printouts and drafts typically are one-or-two sided "draft"-quality B&W-only in ink-saver mode.
