>Users want to print payment vouchers on special sized paper, 7.5" x 8.5". This paper size does not exist as an option in the printer driver's pre-defined paper sizes. So here is what I have tried: I chose "custom size" in the printer setup of the report (File/Page Setup/Print Setup/Properties/Custom). Then a window appears, allowing me to specify the size of the paper, so I type in the dimensions, press "ok", "apply", "ok", "ok", and "ok". However, the report layout screen then turns all dark (meaning the dimensions of the paper are 0" by 0", I suppose). It doesn't seem to be able to handle a customer paper size? Then how can I print on special sized paper?

Hi,

In VFP 6.0(5.0?), You must create a new printer on the win95 system (ex. Epson LQ 1000-voucher) and set the paper size to "custom size",no margin and default custom size on it first. Then, in you report, setup Epson LQ 1000-voucher as the printer. You almost got it.

I had to delete all my FoxUser.* to make it work. I even forced it to be created in the vfp directory. I had foxpro Dos on my system(conflict???)

That's what MS-tech told me to do when I called then a few month's ago.

The trouble with this method is that for each station you have to add Epson LQ 1000-voucher. Not practical for a wider distribution and many kind of printers.

If any other user as another solution, please feel free to share.
