    WTF should I save printer settings into my document??? It's illogical

    You, sir, are a slimy little piece of troll shit who failed to apply even a moment of thought to your 'argument' before you kicked into flame mode. A document should have printer settings so that the application knows how to print it. Think. Say I'm working on a piece of technical documentation. It has code samples with some long lines. The best way to make a dead-tree copy of this document is to print it landscape, with the back side of each page inverted so it can be bound at the top. WHY THE FUCK SHOULDN'T THAT BE EMBEDDED IN THE DOCUMENT?
