I installed a canon ip3500 on XP pro, In printing profiles I set up paper
source to "front for plain paper". Sometimes when I log off and log back on
later, it changes back to "rear tray". This is very annoying.
I also have 10 user accounts I need to create and I don't want to go through
this hassle of changing paper source for each account when it changes back
on its own.Can anyone tell me how I can either tweak the driver to change
the default paper source to front, or make a change in the registry? Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Re: Problem with printer paper source keeps changing back to default settings

Try adding a new printer
(Control Panel/Printers and Faxes/Add a printer)

Use the same Brand/Model Number as the current printer in the Wizard.
But give it a unique printer name by appending: Front Plain Paper
after the default printer name.

Now you will have two Cannon printers displayed in the list of available
printers.
One of which should have a name similar to: Canon ip3500 - Front Plain
Paper

Right click on the new printer you just added and select 'Properties'
Most likely in the General tab/Advance you should be able to set the paper
source
to "front for plain paper", click 'Apply' and the 'OK' button.

You should now have a printer preconfigured with the settings
that meet your requirements.
