Hi,

Im using a Dot Matrix printer and want to print continuously (without page break). But now with printer object i was able to print only upto 15 inches (which is the maximum - my printer driver supported). any ideas?

regards

Hi ackid32,

I think it still depends on your printer. I found the following information from MSDN:Printer.Height Property. Hoping that could help you.

For the Printer object, the Height and Width properties are always measured in twips; they return the physical dimensions of the paper that the printing device is currently set to use. If set at run time, values in these properties are used instead of the setting of the PaperSize property.

If you set the Height and Width properties for a printer driver that does not allow these properties to be set, no error occurs. The size of the paper remains unchanged.

If you set a Height or Width value for a printer driver that does not allow that value, no error occurs. The property is set to a value that the driver allows. For example, you could set Height to 150 and the driver would set it to 144.

Best regards,

Ling Wang
