printing a receipt

[fredy]

hi guys,

please help me ease my burden.

i have a data in which i have to print it in a continous paper. but the size of the paper is Height: 2.75in Width: 6.35.when i create customized paper size using
printer server properties, it does not appear on the list of the paper available in the page setup.

does anyone know how to print this using report?
i do understand visual basic but i'm not that expert.
any suggestions or comments are very much appreciated.

tnx

Create your report in design mode and define the paper while still in design mode of the report.

 

[fredy]

tnx for your response.

i already did it. but the sad thing is i can't find the custom size paper in the page setup.

i tried searching over the internet but still have no luck
so im thinking if codes on vb might solve the problem.

anyway, im using windowsXP and msAccess 2002.

if anyone has an idea of this problem, i need your help please.

If the report is a custom size and that is the size of the paper in the printer then I don't see the problem. Am i missing something here?

 

[fredy]

yes, but the problem is the printer did not recognized the paper size i created.


by the way, am using Epson LQ2170

Are you using the latest driver for the printer? I'm pretty sure that will be a function of the driver.

 

[fredy]

not sure, but can you tell me where to update the driver if it's not updated?
i will repost it as soon as the program is working.

 

[RuralGuy]

Hmm...it does not look like there are very many new drivers for that printer. You might have success with simply a text printer driver.

 

[RuralGuy]

not sure, but can you tell me where to update the driver if it's not updated?
i will repost it as soon as the program is working.

This is where I looked: http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid=14315&prodoid=8249&infoType=Downloads&platform=Windows

 

[fredy]

thank you so much for the time and effort, i really appreciate it!
i will repost it as soon as i succeed.

more power to all of you guys.

hi guys,

i've searched for the update driver for my printer but still no luck.
i tried the site u gave me but the ftp server of epson does not support the link anymore.

i tried mail merge as well, the custom size of the paper in word 2007 works fine but then when i print a sample page, after printing first page it ejects and as if you are printing in a letter size paper. then i figured out that in printer properties the paper size was in a letter form.

don't know what to do guys, am i hopeless


thnx

I had no trouble downloading a driver. Which driver were you trying to download?

 

[fredy]

helow,

i finally found the solution.
drivers from another printer do the trick.
thanks to you man!

this thread has been solved.

thank you guys,

cheers
