Screenshot of the dialog in its default state, the same after restart

In the new Print dialog the Writer specific settings are not retained between restarts of the application.

To reproduce:
1, Open the Print dialog and go to the LODev Writer page
2, Change any setting ( Page background ... Print automatically inserted blank pages) and close the window
3, Reopen the window. The previously changed setting is retained.
4, Restart Writer and open the Print dialog. The previously changed setting is set back to the default value.

This was also present in version 6.0 too, also happens for other apps. 
Calc is not reported yet, but has a "Skip empty pages" setting that is also not retained.
Math also has some app-specific print settings and those are not retained either in:

Comment 3 Gabor Kelemen (allotropia) 2019-07-18 08:45:49 UTC
I think I misunderstood how these things are supposed to work. As documented here:

https://help.libreoffice.org/6.2/en-US/text/shared/01/01130000.html?DbPAR=SHARED#bm_id3154621

These are print job specific and they always open the default settings that can be changed on the Options - $APPNAME - Print page.

This does not work like that only in Impress/Draw (bug #115570), otherwise it works as documented.
