10.5: Auto-quit stubborn printers in 10.5
Authored by: FattyMoBookyButt on Thu, Apr 17 2008 at 6:54AM PDT

My printer was already set to 'Auto Quit' and the Default was set to 'Last Printer Used' and the Printer app would not automatically close after printing.

I toggled the Default setting to my specific printer and then back to 'Last Printer Used' and I selected 'Hide completed jobs' (Printer App -> menubar -> Jobs -> Hide Completed Jobs) from within the Printer application and it works now. HTH
