🐝Bee-ing a QATester: I found a bug… honey! I found a bug ..honey! Bug #005: The Printer with Short-Term Memory Loss

Severity:

Medium

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Go to Settings > Printers
2. Select or configure a preferred printer
3. Save or apply changes
4. Restart the app or navigate away and return to the printer settings

Expected Result:

Printer configuration should persist across sessions and reflect user’s saved preferences.

Actual Result:

No printer selected after app restart.

Impact:

• Users must reconfigure printers repeatedly.
• Operational delays, especially in fast-paced environments
• Inconsistent print behaviour
• Frustration for staff and end users.

Suggested Fix:

• Ensure printer settings are saved persistently (e.g., local storage, backend config per user/device).
• Add confirmation or feedback message post-save.

Lesson learnt:

“If a setting can’t survive a restart, it’s not a setting it’s a suggestion.”
