i'm using vb 6 and win xp. basically, no matter what value i set to printer.height and printer.width makes any change. check out my code, i'm probly doing something real dumb:

Label1 = Printer.Width 'gives value of 12240 Printer.Width = 6 * 1440 '6 inch Width x 1440 twips per inch Label2 = Printer.Width 'gives value of 12240

i've tried various values, not just 6 *1440; none work. the papersize value does hower change from 1 to 256, which makes sence, but neither the width nor the hieght budge.

any ideas on why this happens, and how to fix it?

thx
