What your talking about is not really a citrix issue. It is and MS one.
You can support multiple Locales on a single server. It works much better
on a windows 2000 or windows 2003 server other than NT4. The problem is you
have to choose a default locale. If the server was based in England you
would set the default locale to English UK. When a user first logged on
they would get the A4 paper size. However if a user logs on form US their
default locale would also be English UK and the paper size is A4. For that
user you need to change it to English US so that the paper size is letter
and the date format is right etc. You can do this using policies applied to
different groups or by using Logon scripts etc. You could also publish the
regional options to the user and get them to change it....
Hope this helps

I am still not completely clear on this issue. CTX article 104553
says:
Symptoms
When a user sets the paper size on a client printer, these settings are not
retained within an ICA session.
The settings for paper size revert to 'letter' when client logs on and
views the properties of the printer from within control panel.
Opening the properties for the printer, and clicking 'OK' sets them back to
the desired setting. ie. A4
Cause
Regional and Language Options govern settings such as paper size for
printing, and must be set to the correct region as these settings are
inherited by the ICA client.
Resolution
Win2k Server:
Open the control panel, select Regional Options and use the drop down list
labelled "Your Locale (location):" to select "English (United Kingdom)" or
"English (Ireland)".
Next, click the "Set default" button and ensure it is set to the same
setting as above, "English (United Kingdom)" or "English (Ireland)".
Apply these settings and restart the machine.
Win2003 server:
Open the control panel, select Regional and Language Options and use the
drop down list under 'Standards and Formats' to select "English (United
Kingdom)" or "English (Ireland)".
Next, use the drop down list under Location to make sure it is set to the
same setting as above,ie "English (United Kingdom)" or "English (Ireland)".
Apply these settings. Windows 2003 should not require a restart after doing
this
Can you support both US and England on the same server or do you have to
choose which format you are going to support? Also, how Metaframe 1.8?

This is to do with Locales. They fixed it in win2K and above....Default
user in NT was always set to US locale. You had to edit the default user
profile to correct.

Doubt this will be much help, but I'm a little confused about the
whole thing myself :)
On NTTSE, the drivers would always install with Letter as the default
(we're in the UK, should be A4). Since installing on 2003, it knows to
change the default to A4 - I can only assume that since theyre (nigh
on, same release and version, just not NT kernel mode, obviously) the
same drivers, somewhere along the line MS added something for drivers
to check the locale and configure themselves?
PDF documents never had a problem though, they always resize
themselves to fit the page - I assume they know what theyre printing
on from the driver settings themselves!
