    Once you select the Show Details for any application, the next time you use that application and select to print, the full details pane should be shown.

     

    If this is not happening and the applications always show the Hidden Details print dialog then you may need to perform some sort of reset.

     

    Also, if you were to use the Presets option and set commonly used settings as a Preset, then even if the print dialog is not showing the extra details, you can still select the desired Preset from this print dialog.

    I guess I haven't really watched exactly what happens because I am not used to paying any attention.  Sometimes it seems to stay showing details and sometimes not.  I'll keep a better watch.  When just looking at my current open applications, Word and Mail show details but Safari doesn't.  You're of course right, though.  The presets are available. 

     

    Thanks so much
