Is there a way to reset page scaling back to 100% after printing and/or restarting Firefox?

Ok...kind of an odd issue here, but it has been an annoyance to me for quite a while. Sometimes, I print things but don't want to waste a second piece of paper by printing a couple of lines on it, so I'll scale it down to 60-70% or so.

My annoyance is, I usually forget to change the setting back to 100%, so when I go and print out a single page document in the future, it comes out as what I set it on previously!

Is there an addon or anything that would reset the print scaling to a default of 100% for every print job? Thanks in advance for your help!

It is possible to save a new printing profile preset.....but you can also take a look for an add on that fits specifically here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.../?q=scale+print&appver=35.0

Firefox uses the "last used" print settings as the new "default". That can be disabled by toggling this pref to false.

print.save_print_settings

Type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter. Put print.save_print_settings in the Search field at the top, to filter to only that pref. Then below the Search field double-click that pref to toggle the value to false. Keep in mind that no changes from the default pref settings won't be saved, iirc; like changes to Margin or Header / Footer preferences.
