Why does Indesign reset my print driver?

Question

When I go into the print dialog and click on "setup" to go to the Minolta Bizhub C450 print driver, I find that the items that I have changed (like collate, double sided, grayscale, the list goes on) have been changed back to the original setting after I exit out of the print driver. When I print from Acrobat, I can change the print setting and they stay. Example: If I want to print a file thats two sided, I hit <control P>, <settings> and enter the printer driver. I tell it that I want to two sided and I want "Right Binding". Exit the printer driver, go back to Indesign print screen and hit print. The file has printed two sided but the binding position has defaulted back to auto, not the "Right Binding" that I had asked for.
I have the new version 6.0.4 but it seems like my problems have started after this new version. Does anybody else have this problem?

Hi
I have just managed to resolve a duplex problem  (CS4 not allowing duplex printing)
The same solution may help you.
On the indd print screen second selection setup  there is a box that has 'A4' in it.  This appears to be a default setting giving indd printer control.
I have changed that to Defined by Printer then I have saved that setting as a preset.  I have done this for a A4 page (portrait) and for my A5 booklet Landscape). I select my preset as appropriate to the occasion before I print.
My understanding is by doing this CS4 surrenders and gives the printer control of printing.
It may be that in your case it indd will stop trying to control your printer (resetting it)
I hope it works for you
I can understand it and it is a good idea - but I wish we were told about it.
