You may need to use the SetPrinter API if you cannot set a custom paper size through the printer object.

And if you use crystal reports then you will have to also specify a specific paper size there also or you will get multiple "pages" of blanks.


Good Luck
If anyone has helped you solve your problem, please mark your thread as solved.

Thanks
