Set Size Of Paper For A Printer

Hi there,

Can anyone help me on this matter?
I need to set a particular paper size to be printed out from a particular printer.
The printer that i meant is Epson LQ-300 ESC/P 2.
In the printer preferences, i cant set the paper size which could my requirement so i decided to set the size in the program itself.
I'm using ASP as my base code.
Pls help

Hi,
as far as i know you have to set your page width in a way that it will print correctly either using tables or div's or other tags.
For instance to print an A4 you would set the width of your table at I think around 650 pixels, you will have to test it and adjust
Hope this helps

Hi,
I don't think you can do that from a web page, it would have to come from the printer, in general web pages are not really well suited for printing so it might actually be easier for you to transfer on a pdf or word doc.
