Photoshop CS5+ Default Printer and Remembering Printers in Documents

Question

Yesterday, the last thing I printed from Photoshop was to my Fax subsystem.  Today I opened three new raw files, all of which were destined for printing.
This ended up causing the print dialog to initially point to my Fax service for each of the three documents I opened, even though my system default printer is my HP inkjet.
Perhaps it is thought to be a good idea to have the last printer Photoshop printed to (instead of the system default printer) be the default for the next documents created, but...  It created exactly the wrong results in this case, multiplied by the number of images I opened.  Moreover, it was unexpected operation, because most Windows apps just don't work that way.
Adobe:  Please consider adding user-configurable options to your next version that allow a user to select more "traditional" Windows printer operation.
I can envision 3 settings that could be quite useful:
Use / ignore printer metadata from document.
Use system default printer / use the last printer Photoshop printed to.
Store / don't store printer metadata in document.
Through settings like these someone who wants printing defaults to work "the old way" could have what they want, and passing PSDs around amongst multiple users could be managed, instead of getting users into a situation where printer info that's not locally valid came along with the document.
Just a thought.
Thanks.

That brings up a similar, and not only annoying but problematic process PS uses.
After running some images from file A, for instance, I now open File B. File B has several images I will combine into a pano. I create the pano, open it in PS and it says "Untitled_Panorama_1". I click Save As and if I do not watch what I am doing, it will not save it to the current File B but to File A. I find this to be true with any file name change. It will save it to the last file opened, not the current. Imagine finding a file under those circumstances! The only saving grace is if you still have the file in Open Recent under File, you can trace back to where it is stored and move it where it belongs.
The only way I have figured to defeat it is after opening to the new file in Bridge, close Bridge and reopen it. Now the Last and Recent are identical.
DXO never does this. I set the default save location to be the same as the Source. At first I thought that was fussiness, but now it makes sense. If I want to save it elsewhere, I know I want to do it and can pick it.
Makes for some interesting folder contents, to see wedding pictures saved in a wilderness folder!
Hmmm, maybe that was an omen!
