I have a small problem with a number of VFP applications that are running on a W2K Terminal Server. The speed of the apps are just great (very powerful server) but I keep on having a problem when printing.

In order to deal with both US and European users the reports that can be printed can be set to either Letter- or A4 size. This all works fine when installing the apps on the user machine. On the Terminal servers I get the following.
When previewing the document I can see that the papersize is what it should be, when printing it I can ¨put the queue offline and see that the jobs are entered in there. The odd thing, however, is that for some users the papersize in the queue is different than I expect.

Taking a close look at all the print-queue´s on the Terminal Server and on the printersettings that the user can adjust we have discovered that the problem is created when not all printer-page-properties are in sync.

In W2K you have the papersize in the General-tab under the Printing Preferences-Advanced buttons but also on the Device Settings-Form to tray assingnment.
If the first tab says it´s Letter while the tray-assignment says A4 the queue will be printed as A4 (although the preview show that is Letter).

To avoid this problem I want to check if all settings are in order. How can I achieve this efficiently. Do I need to go to the registry or is there another way to determine all these printer settings.

Any help is appreciated.
