Printing...
I want to print a datareport... before that i need to set the default printers page setup , like papersize and margins (top,left,right, botton). Becuase the data report needs printers papersize to create the report.

I want to know how to set the default printers or specified printers page settings that i have mentioned... Please....

Arjun

Search msdn library help for commondialog control

->tick the "Microsoft common dialog control"->ok).
Add this control on a form. And in a "onclick_event" of
a button : commondialogname.showprinter.
This what u want?

Orientation

Printer.Orientation = 1 Else Printer.Orientation = 2

Printer.PaperSize = 1 ' set paper size to letter

I don't know all type constants, but check 1 to ....

I don't know how margins can be set, but to print at an specific position

Sub printXY(x, y, TXT, Optional ByVal Font_Size As Integer = 8)
Printer.CurrentX = x * 1377
Printer.CurrentY = y * 1377
FNTS = Printer.FontSize
Printer.FontSize = Font_Size
Printer.Print TXT
Printer.FontSize = FNTS
End Sub

X and Y are in inches.

Remember that the printing is done in a virtual page before sending it to the printer, so the position of each text can be anywhere (because is a drawing). The X and Y are the coordinates of the beginning of each text.

if you want a margin of 1.5 inches of lenght the X=1.5,
if the text begins on 1 inches from the top the first text will have Y=1.0 and the next will have an increase of Y aprox of 0.2 inches space down.
