SolidWorks Changes Page Size in Dwgs

(OP)
I am using SW09 SP3 on XP.  It often happens that have made a B size drawing, saved it printed it, etc. and later came back and opened it again.  Sometimes, not always, any given drawing will attempt to print 12x18 instead of 11x17.  I am printing to a Ricoh Aficio MP4000, but this does not happen with any other program.  Has anyone seen this before?  Any suggestions where to ask about this?

Thanks.

Not sure if it will help in your case but, in the Page Setup dialogue box, under the Print command, make sure the Use the document settings is selected.

Thanks, CBL.  I have tried it both ways, no success.

RE: SolidWorks Changes Page Size in Dwgs

I have had similar issues, we use our HP Designet for C & D sizes, the HP Laserjet for A sizes. The correct printers used to be automatically selected (I think this info was stored in the drawing template) but now it just trys to use the default printer all the time.
