Salut Benoît,

I use a HP Officejet 6210 USB (from 2005), which is attached on my
Fritz!Box (DSL router) USB-port, connected via  socket://<router
IP>:9100

But the behave is the same if the printer is connected on the computers
USB-port.

Driver : HP Officejet 6200 Series hpijs, 3.10.2

On 'bad way' the properties are copied in alphabetically order.
So Paper is set before PaperHeight and PaperWidth, but at the end Paper
is set again. And after coming back from Configure() is reset to 0.

Not in 'good way', the Paper before PaperHeight and PaperWidth is not
set, only at the end. And after coming back from Configure() the initial
value is kept.

But if I run first  'bad way' and then (without restart, which set a new
Printer)  'good way' then also Paper ist reset to 0 ,
after .Configure() .

So I thing something run bad when set Page more then one time
before .Configure() .
