Accounting settings removed after reboot in OS X 10.11 El Capitan

Set it in CUPS or Apple will wipe the settings every reboot.

Open a web browser and go to “127.0.0.1:631” , Then select “Printers” at the upper right

Select the “Advanced” link

Scroll down to the Accounting settings and set the defaults, then select “Set defaults” at the bottom of the page

Good Morning.

Laters "Xerox print driver 3.64.0 Driver" installed on brand new MacBook Air with OSX 10.11 El Capitan installed.

Accounting is setup on the Xerox copiers and have been functioning as they should from older Macs and all Windows 7 machines.

Currently on these new Mac Laptops, fully updated with latest driver installed, I set Xerox Accounting to active, saved current settings as default and test print successfully.

Restart computer and Accounting settings are no longer there.

Any tips?

Thanks
