Re: [libreoffice-users] Double sided printing-again

In LO Options>Load/Save there is a setting for load printer settings 
with document. Have you had a look at that.
My understanding is that to load specific printer settings in a default 
document (from the default template) the box should be ticked and the 
printer settings should be saved in the default template, but I may be 
wrong.
