Change printer settings with code? (1 Viewer)

[Nic]

Hi,
I have a db with various reports. Each report is basically the layout and page size of a label onto which i want to print. I have a Zebra LP2844 label printer.
My db will be used to print a number of different size labels. I dont really want users to access the printer dialog/settings box, however it would appear that if i am using eg a 25x50mm label, then i need to set this as the page size in the printers dialog box. Then if i change the label size to print out a different label (report), then i need to update the printer settings again. (not really practical for my application)

Is there anyway, using code that i can change the details in the printers setup dialog box?

Thoughts and suggestions greatly appreciated!

I am having the same probel as you. I need to be able to programatically change the page size on the printer. Have you found any good ways to do this?
