Fax settings don\'t stick

[RobinS]

Under Print and Fax: I make changes but when I go back they aren't there. Using newest OS X. I tried the lock but it doesn't make a difference.

Consider trying this (with 'System Preferences' not launched) -

01. Locate the file 'com.apple.print.FaxPrefs.plist' in the '/Library/Preferences/' folder, and trash and delete (empty the trash) the file.
02. Open 'System Preferences', select the 'Print & Fax' utility, and make some setting changes.
03. Quit 'System Preferences'.
04. Open 'System Preferences' and see if the 'Print & Fax' utility changes remained.

Did it - but it won't even keep the phone number. When I input it, then go to Printing or Sharing and come back, the old number is there. It keeps on thinking my fax number is 213-123-4567.
