icon Print tif file on legal size paper

Hi I am trying to print from a tif file that needs to print on legal size paper. When I print the code acts as if doesn't get the instructions to print to legal and still comes out letter styleI am using kodak imageedit control
my code looks like

    

    With ImgEdit1

            'Set the image path that is to be printed
       .Image = strImageFilePath

            'Set the size of the paper to print on legal size
       Printer.PaperSize = vbPRPSLegal

      
        .Display
            'This is the print option to print everypage holding the correct format
      
     .PrintImage 0, 0, 1
    


Thank you

Problem solved!

create a module called orient and then do a call to the sub setpapersize()  in the call statement include a 5 for legal print or a 1 for letter print.  Hope it helps
