Ok, I think I see what's happening.  I think it's because you're going
in via the Preview window.  I have that too (Crtl+Alt+P).  But Ctrl+P
(whatever that is on a Mac) goes straight into the driver window.  I
don't often use the Preview window, but haven't had any problems when
I do.  Try this: go into the driver first, set everything up, then
save it as a custom setting, then print some small something.  That
will set up the printer/driver with those values.  Then, when you go
into the Preview window it will be already pre-set and maybe it won't
revert.  Something like that ought to work.

Clayton
