Paper Size
Hi, Just Asking on How to set the Paper Size of a DataReport to Legal (8.5x14)?
I try using CommonDIalog Box but it doesn't work..

CommonDialog1.Flags = 64
CommonDialog1.ShowPrinter

I always go to the Printers and Faxes and set the Paper Size to Legal..
But my other projects, need only Letter(8.5x11) that's why I am going to back it's paper size to (8.5x11)..
What code should I write, so that everytime I run this program, the Paper Size will automatically set to Legal (8.5 x 14)
Hope you can help me with this?

Paper Size, Setuserpapersize
im using PIN printer to print a cash bill,

the paper size is 8.5 inch x 5.5inch (half of normal fanfold size)

so, the preloaded papersize in crystal report 9.2 doesn't have such paper size, so i need to set it myself

VB Code:
myReport.PaperSize = crPaperUsermyReport.SetUserPaperSize length, width

refer to the help file in crystal report, the length & width value is in pixel, 1 inch equal to 1440 pixels right?
so 8.5 inch should be 12240 pixels & 5.5 is 7920, but end up not what i want.

after few hundred tries, i found that 1335, 2100 nearly equal to 8.5 x 5.5 inch, why?

anyway to change the scalemode of it to cm or inch?

Print AND PAPER SIZE
I WANT TO PRINT A FORM , CAN SOMEONE TELL TO ME HOW TO
SET A PAPER SIZE

Default Paper Size
Hi:

I´m trying to print a label 11 x 15 inches

I define the paper size:

    Dim TamEtiqueta As New PaperSize("TamEtiqueta", 1100, 1500)

After I want to print the label

I use the follow code:

'Declare the print Document and some properties (Papersize and Landscape)

Dim Etiqueta As New Printing.PrintDocument

Etiqueta.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = TamEtiqueta
Etiqueta.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = True

'Print tha label
Etiqueta.Print()

The problem is: the printer uses a letter size,

I have to use a printdialog objet to correct this problem

Dim PrintDialog1 As New PrintDialog
Dim result As DialogResult = PrintDialog1.ShowDialog

BUT for each label printed I have to configure the paper size (already registered in the printer properties)
I print about 600 laber per day

I treated to configure some properties for printdialog object as showing

  Dim PrintDialog1 As New PrintDialog
            With PrintDialog1
                .Document = Etiqueta
                .PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "HP5100"
                .PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize.PaperName.ToString()
                .PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = TamEtiqueta
                .PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = True
           End With

But doesnt work

What can I do?
Please I need help...

Font Sizes To Paper Size?
Hello,

I'm trying to get this printing code finished and ran into the problem of how many rows to count on an 8 1/2" x 11" paper size with various font sizes. ie, how many rows does it take a font size of 8 to fill a the paper?
Is there a chart or something somewhere that shows these ratios of other font sizes and paper sizes?
Also, I'd like to know if the screen resolution has anything to do with the font sizes printed onto the paper if I'm using the Print Object Methods and Properties? Or do I just have my plans here completely wrong and am not doing this correctly?

Thanks again guys.

Kind Regards,
Drumsticks
