Do you mean Printer.CurrentX = 123 and Printer.CurrentY=123?

clearly i dont know about that. the thing i have to do is that i have to print a predefined recept and the should go exectly to the desired place and the main problem is that by default paper size of dot matrix printer is A4. in place of this i want to define my own... thats it.

The only way I know of to put text exactly where you want it on a piece of paper (regardless of the size of the paper) is to set the X-coordinate with CurrentX and the Y-coordinate with CurrentY and be prepared to do a lot of experimentation.
