I have a Epson LX 300 printer. I want to print a report using VB Datareport for which the paper lenght must be 7 inches and paper width 6 inches. I have to do continious printing. But when I print the report, Datareport uses the default printer setting i.e., Letter size(8.5 X 11). As a result I can't do continious printing. How can I change the default paper size to custom paper size, programmatically, using VB datareport and Epson LX 300 printer?
Thanks in advance.

you can user .setuserpapersize with,lengh

whitch is the  report object property

but there is another problem,  i,e this properety accept values in pixel and you know pixel is not really physical lenth as your monitor with an cpnstant lent and width acccept some diffirent values just like 600,800 or 1280,1024 and so on

surly we should fine a way that can be apply in the inner of report  to change report lenth and width
ok

but i experence this steps in crystal
i hope that be same as datareport

if you fine any way tell me plz

u can use this conversion formula

1 pixel = 0.1 inch = 0.3 centimeter

when it may differ the resolution of any systems
we should find a better solution
or it may be work in the inner of CR
because pixel is not a good measurment  set
it differ from on resolution to other

i said that  your constant monetor may have somediffer pixel values
