Hello everyone,

I'm developing an application that prints some orders to Epson LQ-590
(or some other dot matrix printer).
The problem is that I must use some custom format paper (8.2 X 5.9
inch).
I tried to use e.PageBounds, e.PageSettings and other properties of
PrintPageEventArgs class (where e is instance of PrintPageEventArgs
class) but whatever I do, printer pulls exactly the length of A4
paper.

I tried to use QueryPageSettings event and to set custom size to
QueryPageSettingsEventArgs's instance but didn't have any succes with
that approach neither.

Is it possible to set the custom size (length of a tractor feed paper)
from .Net?
If not, did anyone tried to do that using API calls?

I would appriciate any kind of help.
Thanks in advance,
Sasa
