Default Two printers, two paper trays and a 2 page document

I have a document (template) that we want it to print on letterhead paper on
the first page and plain paper for all pages after. We have 2 printers (both
HPLaserJet8000) loaded with Letterhead paper in tray 3 and plain paper in
tray 2. All users use the same print drivers (PS) but may have either set as
their default printer.

With printer 1 set as my default, I set the page options as the first page
to Paper tray 3 (letterhead paper loaded) and Other pages to Tray 2 (plain
paper loaded). The document is then saved to a network share.

When opening it on another computer (same two printers installed with the
same drivers) printer 2 set as the default printer, the page setup options
are changed back to "default tray" or "auto select". If I change to printer
1, the page setup settings are correct.

Should this template/Doc save the page setup regardless of the printer being
chosen if the same driver is used?? If not, how does one set this up so that
it will work regardless of which printer is chosen? Does the printer
installed on each computer dictate the page setup options?

I can provide more info if needed.
