Setting default page size for session printers

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me please how to set the default page size
for new printers on a server to A4.

I understood it was based on the locale, and from the
regional settings on the server it is in Ireland so the
page size should be A4. However all new printers
automatically get Letter as the size for the printer. Not
a major problem unless the Server is a Terminal server -
which it is!

This means that every time a session is opened the server
creates a new printer for the printers on the local PC and
the page size is set wrong which corrupts reports etc.

Help please?

Thanks,

Jason.
 
I found this in the TS FAQ:

Q. How do I keep my printer settings (such as A4 paper) from being
lost every time I log off?

A. After making the printer setting change, be sure to wait at least
60 seconds before logging off or disconnecting. See Terminal Services
Printer Redirection Not Signaled on Change to Server-Side Device
Settings Tab (243942).
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;243942 Also,
be sure to wait for 60 seconds after the redirected printer is created
(after logon) before making your setting changes.
