Printing defaults
By default SMART Notebook prints in colour.
Even if you untick the print in colour option, the setting is only retained for that session meaning that when you close and reopen the program it goes back to printing in colour as default.
This is particularly wasteful.
Please introduce a registry key or other setting which will allow us to set the default print option to monochrome.

In my own case, I’ve been fighting this exact same thing with SMART Notebook for years—every time I print a worksheet for a class set, I have to manually switch it to black and white, and the second I close the program, it forgets. It’s maddening how much toner gets wasted because the “default” is stuck on colour. Then I started printing more of my 3D model assemblies at home, especially after downloading STL files from https://www.gambody.com/ - those detailed game characters need clean, monochrome layer instructions anyway, so I got into the habit of forcing grayscale in the printer properties themselves rather than relying on the software. That’s the only workaround that’s stuck for me: set your system’s default printer preferences to monochrome via Windows’ own devices and printers menu, not the app. SMART won’t override that because the driver handles it last. It’s not elegant, but it’s saved me from tearing my hair out.

Please can you also add tick-box for double sided so I don't have to go into printer settings every time.
And please speed the dialogue up! Every change takes about 2 seconds to register.
