Here's how to Fix Printer settings could not be saved error on Windows:

- Restart the print spooler service - Open an elevated Command Prompt and run "net stop spooler" and then "net start spooler" to restart the service.

- Make sure you have admin privileges - Log into the account that has administrator rights and try to change the printer settings again.

- Update printer drivers - Outdated drivers can sometimes cause issues saving settings. Update to the latest.

- Reset printer - In Devices and Printers, right-click the printer, select Properties - General tab and click "Reset device".

- Delete and re-add printer - Remove the printer completely from Devices and Printers, restart computer, then add it again.

- Create a new user profile - The issue may be related to a corrupted user profile. Create a new Windows user and test there.

- Check disk space - Ensure there is sufficient space on the disk where settings are saved (usually the system drive.)

- Save to file - Some printers allow saving settings to a file instead of the printer itself. Try exporting settings.

- Check for viruses - A virus or malware on the system could potentially corrupt printer drivers and prevent saving.

- Contact printer manufacturer - If the issue persists, contact the printer manufacturer's support for further troubleshooting.
