Sorry Witto no experience doing that here.

Office 2007 similar to Vista got such a negative user feedback that we currently still use our Volume License for Office 2007 and downgrade them to Office 2003 and install that.

I'm sure over more time that more people will get used to it but for now on a test group the productivity went down so I suppose we'll wait a bit longer before deploying it.

First question
Office 2007 (also 2003) installs a printer, the "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer". In the "Printing Defaults", the "page Format" is always set to "Letter". How can this be set to "A4"?
If this printer is set as default, and the user first starts his Outlook, all the forms are configured based on the default printer page format.
Is/are there maybe some registry hacks?

You should use transforms to fix up any localised changes during initial installation.

extract any office patches (*.MSP) and place in the updates folder and it will automatically install during install

use "setup /admin" to start the configuration tool

my install code is:

 Code:
		if not keyexist('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{90120000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}')
			if updateapp("Microsoft_Office_2007")="yes"
				$nul = sendmessage(@wksta,'Do not open ANY programs until MS Office 2007 completes installing in 15 to 30 minutes.')
				Use V: '\\a06\setup$\MSO2007'
				go v:
				shell 'v:\setup.exe /config v:\ProPlus.WW\config.xml'
			endif
			if not KeyExist('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{90120000-00B2-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE}')
				shell 'cmd /c '+$setup+'\MSO2007\_addins\ExPdfXps.msi /qb-!'
			endif
			if not KeyExist('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{90120000-00A7-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE}')
				shell 'cmd /c '+$setup+'\MSO2007\_addins\cpaosetup.msi /qb-!'
			endif
			if not KeyExist('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{EB9A4856-C28A-4BC2-9373-975A33BB9CD4}')
				shell 'cmd /c '+$setup+'\MSO2007\_addins\LeoShimSetup.msi /qb-!'
			endif

			;  Microsoft Office 2007 Policy Settings
			$nul = Writevalue('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\User Settings\ShownOptIn','Count','1',REG_DWORD)
			$nul = Writevalue('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\User Settings\ShownOptIn','Order','1',REG_DWORD)
			$nul = Writevalue('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\User Settings\ShownOptIn\Create\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\General','ShownOptInFix','Applied',REG_SZ)
			$nul = Writevalue('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\User Settings\ShownOptIn\Create\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\General','ShownOptIn','1',REG_DWORD)

			$nul = Writevalue('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\User Settings\RemoveInstantSearchBar','Count','1',REG_DWORD)
			$nul = Writevalue('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\User Settings\RemoveInstantSearchBar','Order','1',REG_DWORD)
			$nul = Writevalue('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\User Settings\RemoveInstantSearchBar\Create\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Search','DisableDownloadSearchPrompt','1',REG_DWORD)

			$nul = Writevalue('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Options\General','PONT_STRING','37,48,53,60,23,',REG_SZ)
		endif

Oops, quite right, transforms are more an Office XP / 2003 thing.

Here is a part of your solution (Paper Size)

You change the Paper Size and the value in Public_PaperSize change.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\MODI\MDI writer]
"Public_Orientation"=dword:00000001
"Public_PaperSize"=dword:0000002b

Thanks to all of you for your reaction and comments.
It is not about the user preferences. It is about the printer default. Look at the "Printing Defaults" on the Advanced tab of the printer properties.
IMHO that is written in HKLM.
I think the answer is somewhere in this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers\Microsoft Office Document Image Writer
The binary entry "Default DevMode"
Starting at position 66 the word
"L e t t e r  "
is written.
When changing the "Paper Size" in the "Printing Defaults" to "A4", this binary value changes starting at position 66 to
"A 4  "

I tried to change this in the registry, but apparently this was too simple...

Someone pointed me to a utility:
Windows 2003 Resource Kit
setprinter.exe
setprinter -examples 8
 Code:
  SetPrinter "" 8 "pdevmode=dmPaperSize=9, dmPaperLength=2970, dmPaperWidth=2100, dmFormName=A4"

Nope
If you search the page you gave for the word "printer", you will see that the only thing you will find is "Printer friendly Version"
