Printing on Odd Paper Size

[Sarav]

My requirement is to print a report on a (Running Sheet)paper with size 8 Inches(Height) x 6 Inches(Width).This size I dont have it on my Printer setup option in CR.I tried the report by setting the page size option as A5 (8 1/4Inches x 5 13/16 Inches),which is the nearest matching size for my report.First Sheet it prints fine,then for the second sheet it lowers by 1/4 inch, and for the third sheet 1/2 inch..and so on..since difference between A5 & my PAper size is 1/4 inch.can anyone suggest me any solution for this problem...How can I print my report on this Odd Page size..??..Thanks in advance.

You need to make a custom paper size for it to work. Go to Start, Settings, Printers. Right Click on the printer you're using and choose properties. Somewhere you should have the option to choose the paper size (usually a Paper tab) and you should have a button to click to make a Custom paper size (I say should because some printers don't actually give you the option). If you're running NT or 2000 it's in one of the options of the file menu in your Printers window.
After you've set up the page size you should be able to select it in CR.

HTH,

Hi,
Have you tried setting:
MyRpt.PaperSize = 6
(Statement, 5 1/2" x 8 1/2&quot
-or-
MyRpt.PaperSize = 11
(A5, 148 x 210 mm)
-or-
MyRpt.PaperSize = 256
("User-defined&quot

There are 42 different settings for this (including "USER&quot and one of them must work. For an example of a print engine, see my FAQ #2A
You can also use CR's API calls.
