Hi there, now i have a system that use for receipt, so it will print a lot of receipt. The paper size i am using is a custom size, the i set a script that let the system print the receipt after key in all the field automatically. the script is:

go to layout("receipt print")

print setup[restore, no dialog]

print[no dialog]

go to layout("receipt form")

I set the script as keet the information on script. The print setup i set as restore because i want it to save the paper size and also set it print only the current record. It work well on my pc. But after i load it into other pc with other printer, on the first time i load, i have run the print setup function to select the printer with another button. Then i found that the script can't find the same paper size even i have set the same custom paper size on that pc. If like this then i need to set manually on every pc that need to use the system.

Regards,

Henry

Custom page sizes are a function of the printer driver. Some drivers do not allow custom pages at all. I try very hard not to use any custom page sizes (or anything even remotely unusual like specifying trays) becaue it all gets very hard very quickly when working with users whose computers are configured differently. Especially with Windows.

Looks like you've just become the SysAdmin. wink.gif
