Print Preview does not save all settings, only the ones that have been selected to be "sticky". This is intentional, because restoring all settings might surprise the user. For example with copies it would probably be undesirable to restore a value of 100 if the user printed 100 copies on the last page they printed.

CC-ing some people who are looking at Print Preview features currently. We can look into whether it makes sense to make the "advanced settings" options sticky in future. Note that this does not apply to local printers currently as they do not use CDDs and therefore do not have an advanced settings section.

Thanks rbpotter@ for responding. Is this a recent change? I've been using Secure Print for past ~1.5yrs it was always saved. I noticed that print jobs were going as normal prints only last week (Not sure if it was due to a recent update or something else I did!)

To think of it - Secure print reverting back to (default) Normal print is a bigger problem than Normal print accidentally going as Secure Print because I forgot to turn it back. 

RE: reverting to normal vs secure, it will default to whatever the printer's default value is. I am guessing that is normal printing.

Took another look and it does look like we try to save off settings if they are detected as user modified (it is just implemented somewhat differently from how the other settings are saved so I missed it originally). This worked in 62 at least for the "Print mode" setting. Think I have a fix for this.

Thank you. Appreciate your quick response.

vmalewar: Can you try Google Chrome Canary in a few days and verify the fix? It's probably too late to fix this for Chrome 63. The best we can do is merge this fix to Chrome 64 at this point.

Will try it out. There's no rush from my end anyway.

Verified this issue on Ubuntu 14.04, Mac OS 10.12.6 and Windows-10 using chrome latest canary M65 #65.0.3309.0 by following steps mentioned in the original comment. Observed 'Secure Print' and other changes in Advanced page is remembered as expected. Hence adding TE-Verified label for M65.

Thanks!
