    Question

    Can I make the Printer object's Height property set to infinity? I'm using a dot matrix printer to print on a spool of paper (similar to printing calculators), but I get form feeds partway through the print because it thinks the paper is ending. Is there a way to ignore the paper height or set it to infinity so this won't happen?

    Well, I don't think it can be infinite, but this code sets its length to a mile.

    Printer.ScaleMode = vbInches
    Printer.Height = 63360

    When I try that, the height seems to max out at around 7 1/2 feet, no matter how large I try to set it. I think the printer driver may be the problem, but I don't know a way around it.
