Default form\papersize when creating new printer.

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



When creating new printerqueue's (Logical Printers according to MS)

the default form\papersize is Letter.

The problem is, we use A4 papersize instead of Letter.

I'm looking for the option\registry key to change the default behaviour of
this setting.



I've tried to change the regional settings, from English US into English UK
and even Dutch (Netherlands). No Luck, even changed the location, but alas,
the papersize still shows Letter instead of A4 when I create a new printer.



Changing it after creating the new printerqueue is possible, but creates a
lot of extra work. Not something the person in charge of creating printqueue's
is fond of.

We are servicing 2800 printers. Defining the right default settings is a
must. :)



Changing the regional settings is not preferable, we would like to keep the
settings on all our servers the same.



Which setting changes the default form option on the server from Letter into
A4?



Thanks,



Frank Denneman
