An application I inherited prints labels on dedicated label printers using continuous feed. The printer names were hard-coded in the application, like this:

* For example
SET PRINTER TO NAME Labels
LABEL FORM SomeLabel TO PRINT

There were several different specifically-named printers. Since different users had different printers installed, this was causing some errors. So I changed the code to prompt for a printer instead:

LABEL FORM SomeLabel TO PRINT PROMPT

Now the users are complaining that they have to set the page size every time they choose the right printer. I tried adding these lines (with the appropriate length and width for the given label) to the Expr field of the first record in the LBX, but it doesn't seem to have helped:

PAPERSIZE=256
PAPERLENGTH=1524
PAPERWIDTH=1016

Short of going back to SET PRINTER TO NAME, is there a way to solve this?

(And, of course, I don't have any of these printers available for testing, so I have to guess and let the client try it.)
