I am having a problem setting the paper size for a 12" document for a dot matrix printer using the following code. The first page prints fine but it does not feed properly to the next form. I have tried PrnSetSize(nWid, nLen ) as well with no luck.

nWid := ROUND( 8.5 * 254, 0)
nLen := ROUND( 12 * 254, 0)

PRINT oPrinter FROM USER NAME "Air WayBill: "

if empty( oPrinter:hDC )
return nil
endif

oPrinter:SetSize( nWid, nLen )

.
.
.

// Done...
nWid := ROUND( 8.5 * 254, 0)
nLen := ROUND( 11 * 254, 0)
oPrinter:SetSize( nWid, nLen )

ENDPRINT

Darell,

It may be that the printer driver doesn't support the paper size you are trying to use. See the old message below. I don't know if there is a solution if the driver doesn't support it.

James

Try this ...

function UserFormat()

oPrn:=PrintBegin("",.f.,.T.)
oPrn:SetPortrait()
aa:=oPrn:GetPhysize()
old1:=round(aa[1],0) && actual value
old2:=round(aa[2],0) && actual value

x1:=old1
x2:=old2

DimUtente() && request the new format

oPrn:SetSize(x1*10,x2*10) && setting the new format

aa:=oPrn:GetPhysize() && verify that the driver support it
new1:=round(aa[1],0)
new2:=round(aa[2],0)

if new1<>x1 .or. new2<>x2 && if not supported retrive the old value
errore(10,10,183)
oPrn:SetSize(old1*10,old2*10)
endif
oPrn:End()

FUNCTION DimUtente()
DEFINE DIALOG oDlg1 FONT oGenFont RESOURCE "DIALOG_303"

REDEFINE GET x1 ID 101 of oDlg1 picture "@k 999" && enter 210 for A4
REDEFINE GET x2 ID 102 of oDlg1 picture "@k 999" && enter 297 for A4

REDEFINE BUTTON ID 105 OF oDlg1 ;
ACTION (oDlg1:End())

REDEFINE BUTTON ID 106 OF oDlg1 ;
ACTION oDlg1:End()

ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg1 centered
