DOCUMENT:Q229111 16-MAY-2002 [winnt] TITLE :Clients with Different Language Version Replace Printer Settings PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT PROD/VER:winnt:4.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbWinNT4sp6fix ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0, Terminal Server Edition - Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0 - Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition version 4.0 - Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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: Q190835 Paper Bin Displays Incorrect Form to Tray Assignment RESOLUTION ========== Windows NT Server or Workstation 4.0 ------------------------------------ To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or the individual software update.

For information on how to replace files that are in use, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: Q184408 How to Replace In-Use Windows NT System 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. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was first corrected in Windows NT Server version 4.0, Terminal Server Edition Service Pack 6. MORE INFORMATION ================ The printer settings (for example, tray and form names) are names to identify the setting.
