Sounds more like a local permission. Hkey current user can change certain
parts of the registry. Depends on the way the computer is locked down. What
if you login to one of the computers that is having the problem with a
username from a computer that isn't having the problem? Does the same result
occur? If not then it is the users rights. If the same result, then it could
be computer security setting, specific to that computer.

Subject: RE: Printing Preferences not saved
Thanks for the response. At least some of the people that can save these
settings have only print permissions at the share level. Looking at the
various permissions, there is no correlation (contradiction, actually)
between the printer share permissions and what happens at the client. I
have found that the settings that I am changing/attempting to change are
in the HKCU\Printers\Connections\<,,server,printername>\DevMode key. I was
wondering (based on
that) if it was a registry permissions issue, but shouldn't basically
everyone be able to write keys to HKey_Current_User?
