Re: Printer Settings Not Being Saved

If the settings don't stick when you use Start, Settings, etc. and then
reboot. You do have a problem. This might be due to the printer driver, or
even user profiles.
If an application starts automatically, it may be involved.

There isn't much you can do about the driver, unless the printer mfr has
info available on a web site concerning the problem. Uninstalling the
printer driver & printer, rebooting, and reinstalling may or may not make a
diffference, just as installing a newer revision might help. Drivers
supplied with windows are more prone to odd problems like this when compared
to later versions directly from the printer mfr.
User profiles may need to be dealt with.
If I thought this was a user profile problem. I'd likely start by logging in
as the "true" administrator, and see if changing the printer options from
this account using start, settings, etc. "sticks" for the administrator.

In my HP printer setting, I try and change certain setting such as the
print
speed from Normal to Draft or Fast Draft. Once the Apply buttom has been
pressed and I click OK and then go back into the setting, they have
reverted
to the default setting. This can also happen in various other programs
and
not printer related. In other words my setting don't seem to stick. Is
there a registry key that will allow setting to stick. I found one that
is
located in Current
User/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/Explorer.
In that location I put a DWORD called NoSaveSettings with a value of "0".
This in effect did not work! Any advice would be helpful.
