My app (VFP8) prints some reports to fanfold stationery in dot-matrix
printers.
I tell the users how to to set up a custom paper size in the OS's Print
Server, and how to select it for the appropriate printer.
The problem is that having selected it, it reverts to the printer's default
size immediately the print finishes, so the user has to re-select the custom
size for each print.
Is there a way to make the custom size the default for a particular printer
?
