    Default Printer - Set Paper Size - Need Help

    How do you set the default printer's papersize to legal or letter? Really need help on this.

    Searched the forum already but seem like nothing is working.

    Thanks

    Remarks

    These constants are listed in the Visual Basic (VB) object library in the Object Browser.
    Setting a printer's Height or Width property automatically sets PaperSize to vbPRPSUser.

    Note The effect of the properties of the Printer object depends on the driver supplied by the printer manufacturer. Some property settings may have no effect, or several different property settings may all have the same effect. Settings outside the accepted range may or may not produce an error. For more information, see the manufacturer's documentation for the specific driver.

    Hi

    How do I set it so I can print a PDF file in Legal and then Letter size? The above only works with Printer.Papersize, but I cannot assign a particular file.
