Re: Printing problem

Switching OS/Platforms while using the same settings directory,  and
expecting all of your settings to work correctly is not a frequent use-case
that we test jEdit for. However, a feature request allowing jEdit to
remember or not remember the last used printer might be something that
would make this use-case work better when printing stuff.
