I am disappointed to discover that TK6 has the same annoying behavior that TK5 does - if you change printer to print an SSG, for example to print in color, that printer becomes the system default. Most software returns the default to the original one when you exit.
We'll take a look at this. We didn't change too much of the way that TK5 works, but I can see how this might be annoying.
You might be interested in this tool, which I use and couldn't live without. It's called "Fine Print", and it's a print manager. Set it up to be your default printer, and then you can print all your jobs to Fine Print. Then, from Fine Print, you can preview the job and choose from any of the physical printers on your computer or to a PDF printer and print from there. This works for me nicely on my laptop, since I have several different printers that I use regularly depending on where I am. But the real advantages of the program are that it lets you print 2 pages (or 4 or 8) to a single sheet of paper (thus using less sheets) and you can see the whole print job before you print (so you don't end up with the 2-line footer of a web page showing up on the next sheet).
The trial version puts a small banner on each page, but is otherwise perfectly functional.
