Andi, I haven't tried this with the Report command, but I have used it with hard-coded reports to set non-standard paper sizes and margins for pre-printed forms.

set printer on
??? chr(27)+"E"   && printer codes
set printer off

@ 1,2 say InvoiceNum  && data to print

The printer codes can be placed in a variable and called with a macro (&).

Try placing this code (with your own printer codes) just before you issue the report print command. Alternatively, you could put them into the Report in a UDF at the beginning of the title page.
