Also if I choose to print from the very exact workstation (for a local installation) or from the server(for lan installation) where I design (or last modify) the report, then it work fine(meaning the default paper size is OK and print well).

The printer driver on each system needs to have the custom paper size defined as its defaults to work the way you'd like - the configuration details are stored locally, and not propagated to each user when the network printer is attached.

After installing the network printer on the remote machine in the Windows Printer folder, configure the paper settings and set the defaults just like you did on the system hosting the printer.
