Default Page Size

[Chris Southall]

TS on Win2K SP4 XP Clients.
Client printing is working fine with one exception. When the printer is
autocreated for the session on the TS server, the default paper size is
set to Letter - all of our printers are A4. Is there a way of convincing
Win2K that whenever it adds a printer, to set the default system wide
paper size to be A4. It's not a regional setting and I've been through
the registry and can't see anything relevant.

Thanks

Chris.

Not by default, but if you manually change the paper size it saves it
settings in the user profile so the next time you connect A4 will be
standard.

How do I excise my profile completely from the TS server ? I have found
a way of making "add new printer" always default to installing with a
paper size of A4, but the TS server is remembering a previous client
printer mapping.

We have the same problem, I've tried the workaround on the kb article, but if
the clients log in the next day, TS maps a new printer (it creates a new
session, then a new printer name with the default page size).. is a never
ending problem...
