Hi All,

I have got an Access application to print large drawings to a large
priter. The drawings have three different sizes, which is
610mm*1500mm, 610mm*1350mm and 610mm*850mm. The problem is that if I
set up papersize to 610*850, the drawings with other two sizes will be
shrinked. If I set up papersize to 610*1500, every drawing print out
ok but waste a lot of paper. I am thinking put all drawings with their
size in a table and change the printer papersize setting accordingly
when it is printing. But I do not know how to change the setting in
the code. Or there is any other better way to achieve this.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Cheers
Daniel

Check out the Printer object; it has a PaperSize property.

Hi Tom,

Thank you for your reply. I know I can set up papersize with an
integer value. But these three size are all customized size and how
can I know the number of them?

Cheers

I believe you can first setup a custom paper size through the printer
driver.
