Maybe you are right, I must have misread the post. But in an ideal 
world even that should work (by saving the config) wihtout the pain 
to reconfigure the printer every time it's recycled.

a few times myself.

What I'm saying is that if I need to manually tweak some obscure rules
to get decent behaviour out of my system, somethings is broken. Badly.
