Re: Custom paper size when printing...

Lots of printer drivers don't do custom page sizes well, so the latter
is quite possible.

Subject: [DOTNET-WINFORMS] Custom paper size when printing...

I have the need to automatical print to a custom paper size on a named
printer.

The code I have is basicaly as below:
---------------------------------------------------------------
...
PrintDocument prnDoc = new PrintDocument(); prnDoc.PrintPage += new
PrintPageEventHandler(OnPrintPage);
prnDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "Samsung ML-2010 Series";

PaperSize ps = new PaperSize("Custom", 600, 400);

prnDoc.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = ps;

prnDoc.Print();
...
----------------------------------------------------------------

On most of the printers available to me this code works as expected,
however on Samsung printers it dose not (it allways prints to A4).

Is this an error in my understanding of how to set custom paper sizes or
could it be an error in how the Samsung drivers work with the framework?


Thank you.                                                  

Regards,
Gary Harpin
