We are creating a vb6 application that will manage sales for our client.
They print to an IBM dot matrix 2381 PPSII for their receipts. THe receipts have carbon copy and they need the tractor fed paper to feed 4 inch by 8 inch forms.
The problem is, we cannot seem to force the printer to print on anything less than 8.5 by 11 in our vb code. We are using the printer object to print. It works fine, but the paper always advances as if it was 8.5 by 11 size paper, hence wasting many forms.
We are running this app on a windows xp machine. The printer is connect via lpt port. We need bit of visual basic code that will allow our client to print on these forms nicely.
Thanks
