Q: Address Book Prefs

When I want to print a 'List' of addresses from Address Book as I do quite often, is there a way to permanantly set the 'Paper Size' to A4 instead of it defaulting to US Letter all the time? Its really annoying when you forget to change it when printing a list in a hurry!

On this, Address Book 'Help' is about as useful as a chocolate teapot...

TIA

In the Print dialog, select Presets > Save current settings as preset...

Thanks Linc.
I set everything up as a preset and printed which is fine. However, when you go to print again even selcting the preset the settings remain firmly on US Letter and the Atributes are also reset to their defaults too! Seems the top part of the Print Dialogue has no control over the Address Book bottom part.

There doesn't seem to be a way to change the default paper size in a print style.
