The templates are kept on each local machine in a file located here (on WinXP):

C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\OpenILS\open_ils_staff_client\Profiles\[randomstring].default\chrome\print_list_templates

Perhaps that will provide a clue as to what's happening?  Maybe something is causing that file to be overwritten?

Aside from keeping a central backup of such templates (by clicking "Export" and saving the file to external media) I don't know how it would be done.  Perhaps these could be pushed centrally in future releases by utilizing the automatic updates feature that's supposed to be in 2.1+:

http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=mozilla-devel:building_the_staff_client#staff_client_automatic_updates

I'm not sure what can and cannot be updated with that feature so I'll defer to the developers who know.

Hope that's helpful!

Chris
