If that does not work figure out the escape code sequence for the printer.
They usually show [R45 or something strange in the manual and that would
be represented by this : Printer.print chr$(27);"R45"

Check the settings in the printer in the settings>printers and also the
settings of the printer itself and see if the problem can be resolved there
No idea of the roll back.
Best of luck

Checked the printer settings and everything seems to look OK. Of all the
problems I had with this application attempt, resolving this printer problem
I thought would be one of the easiest, it turns out it is the last problem
instead. Oh well, thanks for all the suggestions.

Forgive me for jumping in late into your thread.
Presumably, this is a tractor-feed printer, right? That being the case, it
isn't likely that the user will be changing paper sizes with this printer
once you get your ticket-stock loaded into it, right?
So have you tried setting the default paper size for that printer in Control
Panel? You can configure it for 8.5" x 5.5" paper by using the custom paper
size setting. Then your VB app would inherit the correct paper size settings
from the driver.

As I recall, I installed the printer with the windows Generic / Text Only
printer driver, set the Printer.PrintQuality to draft mode (vbPRPQDraft) and
set the page size to 5 1/2" (or was it 33 lines) via a switch on the
printer. This setup has one slightly annoying side effect, printing is not
done in the background, so the application is frozen until printing is
completed.
I'll take a look at the code it tomorrow.

1. Printing Problems When Page Height < Page Width
Has anyone experianced any problems with printing a report from
paradox 5.0 when the Page Width is greater than the Page Height?
Ex. labels or envelopes?
In particular paradox insists on rotating the report 90 on output.
This is regardless of what orientation I set in the Page Layout
Dialog. Have Tried this on a variey of printers with same result.
Have been forced to use the standard 8.5" x 11" page def. and trick
the printer into a short form feed.
Thanks
