Using acPRPSUser

[Adrian Brown]

I know you can use the Printer.PaperSize = acPRPSUser to setup a
custom page size in access, but then how do you actually set its size? The
problem I have is the printer feeds through an A4 page after a label, rather
than
just stepping to the next one - but i presume thats because of this size
issue.

Also several sites say that if the printer doesnt have custom page size in
its printer options this can cause unexpected results. What is the best way
to print to tractor feed labels?

I do not know if this will help but it is good to have if
you do alot of custom printing.
The following are common constant values for printer
orientation, paper size and tray assignments. Note that
for many printers, tray assignments may custom values
determined by the printer driver with values above 256.
