Arriyel, the easy way to fix the problem is to go to the printer itself and change the paper size. Most dot matrix printers allow changing the paper size at the printer. That also means that the printer will have to be changed back after the job is done to the original paper size if other things are printed on the printer.

Another way is to use a visual report just for the dot matrix printer. What I mean, is that you generate your 2.6 report to a file, append the text file back into a cursor where one print line is a cursor row and then generate the cursor to a visual report that has all the printer settings for the dot matrix.

All of our reports are in 2.6, for moving the reports to microfiche and CDs. But, using 2.6 reports does not allow for anything other than the printer defaults when you want to print. So, I use the second method so I can change the printer settings when I print a 2.6 report.

Rob.
