I consider it as a bug rather a lack of feature.

When i try print labels on Metapace L22D thermal printer (60mm wide paper, labels 60x150 need to be rotated to print properly) i need to select paper size from selectable field (where paper sizes supported by printer are fetched from printer driver settings). Then i select orientation to horizontal/landscape ("Poziomo" on screenshots). It prints after that properly. Dialog dissapears.

Now, when i press again print button i have to select paper size and orientation once again, for every new print.

No matter is that i save and/or load a file with label. No matter i do it doesnt save/remember last printer settings even without closing a file. Saving such information with file would be better. It would allow make few premade templates for different label sizes (you can load different rolls of labels to such printers with different sizes and orientation.

Problem exists in 24.8 and 25.2 (i assume earlier have the same problem).
