Configuring this policy sets the print preview settings as the most recent choice in Print Preview instead of the default print preview settings. Each item of this policy expects a boolean: Layout specifies if the webpage layout should be kept sticky or not in print preview settings. If you set this to True, the webpage layout uses the recent choice; otherwise, it sets to default value. Size specifies if the page size should be kept sticky or not in print preview settings. If you set this to True, the page size uses the recent choice; otherwise, it sets to default value. Scale Type specifies if the scaling percentage and scale type should be kept sticky or not in print preview settings. If you set this to True, the scale percentage and scale type both use the recent choice; otherwise, it will set to default value. Margins specifies if the page margin should be kept sticky or not in print preview settings. If you set this to True, the page margins use the recent choice; otherwise, it sets to default value. If you enable this policy, the selected values use the most recent choice in Print Preview. If you disable or don't configure this policy, print preview settings aren't impacted. Example value: { "layout": false, "margins": true, "scaleType": false, "size": true } Compact example value: {"layout": false, "margins": true, "scaleType": false, "size": true}
Registry

BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
