With 'Shared' printing, if the original printer becomes unavailable,
however briefly, the remote copy reverts to default settings. !PrintSpool
has an alternative method called 'Linked' printing which doesn't suffer
from the same problems. If the target machine becomes unavailable the
print will be held on the machine where the print is created until the
machine is back.

A different bug but probably worth reporting.
