Need to print receipt one page with a default setting

more options

When I print a receipt there are usually 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or more pages and I would love it sooo much if we could be able to have a default setting for 1 page only without having to do it manually over and over and sometimes forgetting to put one page thus printing more that I want - wasting paper, ink, and time. It would be so convenient! Please please I encourage strongly consider this!!!!

This probably for software development.

Yes, currently, you have to change the pages control from All to Custom and then enter the number(s) of the page you want to print.

If it's a web page -- probably won't work on a PDF -- one possible workaround to consider would be printing a selection. If you use your mouse to select the part you want to print, then right-click > Print Selection, the preview panel should show the selection automatically. Is that any faster than specifying a page number?
