I'm trying to print a crystal report to a dot matrix printer. The paper size I want to print onto is 5 1/2 inchs (14cms) in height * 8.3 inches (21.1cms) in width but I can't find anywhere in crystal to set this paper size.

I have also tried going into the printer setup in windows but can't find an option to customize the paper size.

Can this be done from VB? Or how can I set the paper size?

Have you resolved this issue?

Basically, the paper size depends on the Printer and/or the printer driver. Here are some links that may help.
