SYMPTOMS
========
When you run print servers and their clients in different language versions of
Windows NT (for example, the servers run the English version and the clients run
the German version) with non-postscript printers, a client viewing the printer
settings sees the default settings in the server language.
This may occur even if the user does not have permissions to modify printer
settings and when they do not click OK.
CAUSE
=====
This problem occurs because the client detects invalid form and tray names and
changes the server configurations to the default settings.
This behavior is similar to the issue described in the following Microsoft
Knowledge Base article:

WORKAROUND

server language) to the client computer. For information on how to replace files

This behavior also occurs when the client connects to the printer and the file is
not present or is an older version. However, when you apply a service pack to
the client computer, this file is overwritten.
