Hi all

We developed .NET Windows application.
a) In Crystal Reports - When Paper size for the Report is kept as Letter , A4, A3, Legal - It is shown properly in the Selected Printer before actual print. Orinentation i.e Portrait /Landscape is also shown properly in the Laser as well as Dot Matrix Printers.

We have problem with Crystal Reports as under :-
Problem
b) When Report -> Printer property is set to Dot Matrix Printer and Paper Size selected is Fan Fold 8.5 x 12 Inch , it is shown as Letter in the Printer Properties before actual print. If we set the paper size to A4, Legal etc. even in Dot Matrix Printer say Epson FX 1050+ (any epson compatible) , it is shown correctly.

Fanfold 8.5 x 12 Inch is the normal available size with Dot Matrix Printers. For actual printing we first need to go to Printer Proper Properties ->Set the paper size to Fanfold 8.5 x 12 Inch and then Print which becomes inconvenient as every time, we need to set the Top of the Page

Your expert guidance is needed to set the Paper Size Fanfold 8.5 x 12 Inch on the Dot Matrix Pritner. We are fully able to capture the Paper size from the Crystal Report Object but we are not able to set the required paper size in the Printer Properties using Crystal Report Viewer Object and using Framework 2.0 classes
