I have a rolodex card the is tractor fed (3X5 card, 3X4.5 printable, 4X5 with tractor feeds). I am printing to an Okidata 380. I cannot get the cards to print across a page. Four cards would be 12 inches long. I cannot set the margins to allow printing continuously. Problem is the top margin is set (.6270) by the printer driver and I cannot change it, nor can I change the other margins to zero. Is there a way to override this. I checked help and it suggested setting up a dot matrix printer with zero margins and then print report with margins that match card. Problem is the Okidata driver won't let me set the margins and if I use generic text driver I loose all my formatting and data does not fit on card. I am using A2K and Win2K. Help!

I am having a similar problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? It seems to be an issue with Windows 2000 because I don't have the same problem using windows 98.
