    [2.0] Print index cards

    hey guys.. I got printing working but I am printing on index cards. So when I print it acts as if it is paper and the words on it are rotated 90 degrees. Is there a way to tell the printer it is an index card so it prints the right way?

    VB Code:
    1. myPrintDocument.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = True
    2. myPrintDocument.Print()

    Have you set the paper size properly? If not then the actual printed text may be off the page. I've used that Landscape setting and it works for me but I'm using A4 paper.

    Don't forget, when you set Landscape on that printer setting, your zero position may be off the paper. I assume like most printers, your small index card is centered when you print.. THe printer has no idea where the side guides are, so you'll need to adjust accordingly.
