[THIN] Disable print events in the Event Viewer

Hi group,

Just a quick question: I'm using PIAB2.adm file for my Group Policy (from
Metodology in a Box package). Among other settings there is "Disable Logging
Print Events in Event Log". If I enable it these Print messages are still
showing up in my Event Log. I opened the paib2.adm in Notepad to see how
they turn these messages off and here is what I saw there (I omit other
policy settings):

CATEGORY !!Printers

        POLICY !!Print_EventLog
                                EXPLAIN !!Print_EventLog_Help
                                KEYNAME
"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Providers"      
                                VALUENAME "EventLog"
                                VALUEON NUMERIC 0
                                VALUEOFF NUMERIC 1
                        END POLICY
END CATEGORY

According to this when I turn this policy on (meaning disable messages) it
should change the registry setting in
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Providers\Eventlog from 0 to 1.
I did it and nothing happened (the registry sertting stays at 0). I tried
"secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy /enforce" - still no luck. I know my
GPO works because if I change Start Menu options in the same GPO it works
like a charm. My Citrix servers are in the separate OU with this GPO
applied. Each server's local GPO has User Loopback Processing Mode enabled (
I don't think it matters as the setting I play with is from Computer
Configuration). Is there a syntax error somewhere?

Any suggestions are appreciated
