Open printer.prg and look at the defines

Code: Select all  Expand view

// Defines for the oPrn:SetPage(nPage) method (The printer MUST support it)

#define DMPAPER_LETTER    1       // Letter 8 1/2 x 11 in
...

I had little luck myself with printer definitions....I have one form that must print on Legal Size (US) and the defines never worked.

I ended up hard-coding the paper size:

prnSetSize( 2159, 3556 ) // Legal Size

Works perfectly.

Probably it was a printer driver problem.
