      Is it possible to set a particular printer and properties in SU 2015? Everytime I print I have to select the printer and xhange the defaults to 11x17 landscape. I tried saving the changes to a template but it reverts back to portrait 8.5x11. Answers, suggestions?

        Can't you change the printer's own properties ?

          Not sure what you mean? What I'd like is that every time I start SU that the default printer defaults to 11x17 in landscape mode. It seems to me that setting the printer and these attributes in the template would do this. But not so. Every time I restart SU it reverts to 8.5x11 in portrait mode.

            The printer settings are not remembered with the SKP.
            The printer settings are remembered with that printer [its 'properties']
            So if your printer is set up a certain way that should be how it starts in SketchUp ?
            [and all other apps using that printer too ??]

              I can see how you might expect this - many office apps save printer settings as part of a document - but SketchUp does not do so. It just picks up the OS settings for the selected printer.
