Printing is defaulting to #10 Envelope

I keep changing my paper size back to Letter after having used #10 Envelope and it continues to default to #10 Envelope, which means I have to pull down to Letter every time I print.

I have tried to Save a new Preset (like "Fast Draft-1") while having Letter selected (and then printing in the hopes that it would make it "stick") but even this /new/ Preset is defaulting to #10 Envelope.

Any ideas on how to get back to the defaults or otherwise fix this?

Thanks

Thank you very much.

Right now I am printing out of Safari.

I go to File > Print and it defaults to Plain Paper, Fast draft-1 which I tried to save with the Letter size adn it starts out with Envelope #10 so I have to pull down to Letter.

If I pull down instead to the Default Plain Paper, Fast draft or Plain Paper, Best they /also/ default to Envelope #10...

Thanks again.

Hi. I'm not sure what questions I didn't answer.

It happens all the time every time I try and print. Can you let me know what I missed?

I was using Safari as an example but I had originally thought it was also happening in Pages because I used Pages to print an envelope for the first time yesterday. I opened a letter, set up a page to print the envelope and now I am stuck in Safari with a default going to the envelope size all the time.

Curiously, I checked Pages just now with a New document and it is defaulting to Letter size.

Still, I need to figure something out to get this to also work in Safari.

Can I ask you to start by explaining if and how these two print procedures are different when printing out of these softwares? Are they both "Drivers" and are they both controlled in a different way somehow? Is there a way to "see' these somwehere? Is it a Plist?

Thanks!
