Report Paper Size
I'm having trouble setting up a report that will be printed on custom sized paper. The page setup will not let me set a portrait format where the page is wider than tall. In this application, the page is 4" wide and 2.5" tall, a tag for parts in
inventory. VS keeps setting it as landscape format which confuses the printer.
First off, can anyone duplicate this?
Does anyone have a work around?
I'm using VS 2010.

The report designer takes away that choice of how to configure the printer to make the correct printout. I need to be able to send the print job as a "portrait" style print job even though the paper is wider than it is tall, so the printer doesn't
shift into "landscape" mode.
Bernie
Hi Bernie,

Checks just feed through or paper size mismatch on C7250, Bad paper sensors on new printers

Sorry that there may be many other related posts I only went back one month! There appear to be MANY problems with newer HP printers and paper sensors with either checks or labels just feeding through or reporting paper size mismatch.
I have a photo smart C7250 and I have checks that I try to print with Quicken. I purchase my checks from NEBS a large supplier of pre-printed business forms.
Sometimes when I print checks they work fine. Other times one or more just feed through unprinted. Other times one feeds and the printer displays a paper size mismatch error.
I also noticed one day when I put the checks in backward by mistake that they all printed fine, so today I decided to look at support for printer paper sensor problems and I found the above listed items.
I am going to try two things:
1) placing a blank white label over some of the pre-printed areas of the checks and see if that helps.
2) Switching back to my old reliable DJ895 for checks if that fails.
I think HP support should look at this message and the related threads I have found and come out with:
1) A workaround or software upgrade to bypass the bad paper sensors in many of these printers, my C7250 and the other printers listed in the other threads.
2) Feed this information back to HP product engineering and QA so that they try colored paper and common pre-printed forms as part of their printer design and testing. As a design engineer myself, (for another company not printers) I am embarrassed for HP that as a leading printer company they could be so lax in the design and testing of their printers.
If anyone knows how to get HP’s attention please let me know!
I hope the rollup of these related threads on check and label printing problems may help you with your problems.
Thank you,
JamesI know this is not a timely answer to your post but I just found it while trying to solve the same problem. Several people have asked the same question but none of them seem to receive helpful replies.
Maybe you've corrected this problem by now and if so, let me know, but this is what I have decided to do.
I set aside my cards from the card/envelope set that I purchased from Michaels, bought a package of 8.5 by 11 cardstock. I printed my message on that, locating it on the page so that I could cut off the right side and the bottom and it was perfectly placed. If you have not done this before, you will have to score the cardstock at the fold so that it will bend nicely. They fit perfectly with the envelopes.
Hope this helps in the future

Custom Paper Size : Migrating from 6i to 10g report server engine
Hi,
pardon my bad english !!
I'm studying to migrate form/reports 6i to 10G. In report 6i we have reports with custom paper size ("A5" format that is half of "A4", 15x21cm).
In report server 6i environment (Win2000 server) we have done this configuration.
- We configure printer; one input tray has "custom" format.
- We create an OS user (es. CustRep);this user has a "default printer" that has input tray with "custom" format as default tray.
- We create a new report server (es. CustRepSrv); this report server start as service with CustRep user credentials.
- Every report (PDF format) generated and printed (destype=printer,desname="My Printer") with CustRepSrv report server get custom format as paper size and so fit with Custom tray definition on the printer.
Can I do the same in report server 10G environment ??
Thanks

Report page scaling/zoom for paper size and field width?
Are there ways to design a report, or programmatically set a report to dynamically resize based on factors such as paper size (A4 vs. Letter vs. Legal), orientation (portrait vs. landscape), and field width (e.g fields grow and shrink based on data)? We are looking at ways to dynamically choose paper size and scale. This would be similar to how Excel files can adjust for printing depending on paper, and PDF files can zoom in/out for paper size.
Thanks,
KyleWe don't want to add fields dynamically at runtime. Instead we want to automatically resize fields at runtime to properly fit data on the page. Currently with our 400 reports, data fields have gotten longer over the years so important data is being truncated. We'd like it if fields could properly grow/shrink/scale so that the data is always valid. We'd like it if the user flips from portrait to landscape, the field widths automatically grow to use the entire page. Or, if a user goes from Letter to A4, pagination still works properly and the fields get slightly wider to fit the A4 standard.
What we don't want is to have a version of the report for portrait Letter, portrait A4, portrait Legal, landscape Letter, landscape A4, landscape Legal, etc. It would be a support nightmare.
I don't know if it is possible, but I'm hoping it is. Thanks for the help.

Crystal Report Print report on different paper size (A4/Letter)
I develop the crystal report 2008 with VS.net 2008. The report runs on web.
when I preview or debug with VS on my local computer, the crystal report using A4 (8.3 * 11.7 in), Which is correct.
However, after I deploy the program to the server, and try view and print report through IE, the print out is actually using Letter size (8.5 * 11 in).
Both on my local computer and the server, the default printer is set to A4 size. And on the crystal report, in the printer setup, the paper size is A4 as well.
I try on firefox, and safari. No luck. Same as IE.
The crystal report need to print barcode, and the paper size must be A4, cuz the barcode page is designed and printed on A4 Avery Laser Barcode sheet.
I tried on my PC by using remote server data souce, the printing works perfectly in A4 size (8.3"*11.7").
And I don't know why same program after deploy to the server, then it using Letter size (8.5" * 11"), which the size I never set to.
So strange.
ThanksA few ideas \ suggestions:
1) Make sure you are using FP 3.3 runtime:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100016807202010E/cr2008fp33_redist.zip
2) Try a simple win app - use saved data report (crystalreportviewer1.reportsource = <path to saved data report>). Does this print correctly?
3) What print mode are you using; PDF or ActiveX?
4) Try export to RPT and PDF from your web app. Does it export correctly?

Crystal Report XI Print report on different paper size (A4/Letter)
Hi,
I have designed report in Crystal XI using paper sieze Letter. Multipler sites are using this application. User in USA are using Letter size paper and User in Euorpe are using A4 size paper. All reports work fine for USA users.
When Eurpoe users print the report on A4 size paper which set in Letter size, the report is truncated from Header or footer. They are printing report from Application and application is set on Citix server.
If Anybody have any idea how to setup Crystal report so it can print on any paper size?
Thanks
BhagvatHi Don,
Please find the below description.
Background: Crystal Report XI is utilized to develop and view reports with data source from Oracle based LIMS application (Vendor: LabWare). The reports are printed using network printer on US Letter paper for users located in North America and on A4 paper for users located in Europe. The report format is US Letter and designed to print on both paper formats i.e. Letter and A4.
Issue: When reports are printed by users in Europe using A4 format paper the printer defaults to US Letter paper (in printer preferences) resulting to data cut off from top and bottom on the printout.
1) When report layout is select to A4 during developing reports using CR, the printing preferences changes to A4 when printed and vice versa for Letter format. How can we avoid CR to enforce from changing printing preferences?
2) According to Citrix engineers in the company, the printer drivers installed on Citrix servers have nothing to do with printing preferences and CR defaults to paper size based on report design. What do we tell them about doing different to resolve this issue?
3) Even though a printer preference of default printer on local desktop is changed to A4, the report gets printed to Letter format result in data cutoff. We have tried this option with several HP printers from few different company locations.
Thanks

How to generate a csv report to determine paper size in a pdf or pdf/a file ?
how to generate a csv report to determine paper size in a pdf or pdf/a file ?
Use the cfpdf tag as follows:
<cfpdf
action = "getinfo"
name = "pdf_info"
source = "C:\temp\testFile.pdf">
My Operating System is Windows. This tag gets information about testFile.pdf, and stores it in a structure. I have given this structure the name pdf_info. This structure has the key you are interested in, namely, pageSizes.
Pdf_info.pageSizes is an array whose indices correspond to the respective page number in the PDF. You can use this to generate Comma-Separated Values (CSV) for each page.
<!--- Initialize CSV list --->
<cfset csv = "">
<!--- Add headers or first row, followed by carriage-return --->
<cfset csv = "Page,Height,Width" & chr(13)>
<cfloop from="1" to="#arrayLen(pdf_info.pageSizes)#" index="i">
<cfset row_info = i & "," & pdf_info.pageSizes[i]["height"] & "," & pdf_info.pageSizes[i]["width"] & chr(13)>
<cfset csv = csv & row_info>
</cfloop>
<!--- Output CSV --->
<cfoutput>#csv#</cfoutput>
<!--- Write CSV to file --->
<!--- <cffile action="write" file="C:\temp\output.csv" output="#csv#"> --->
Done! -

HP LaserJet MFP M476dw paper size mismatch when copying or scanning from ADF
We have HP Color LaserJet MFP M476dw that has an issue when copying or scanning from the ADF.
Put a single A4 sheet in the ADF and choose copy, with all settings correct & no resizing, and the output copy is moved down the page (increased top marging by a couple of inches).
My initial thoughts were a paper size issue (e.g. treating A4 as Letter or vice versa) but all settings look correct. I have even done a reset and started over and the problem remains.
If I take the original and place it on the flatbed and copy from there with all the same settings then it works fine.
There is a similar issue when scanning from the ADF. Again, scanning from the flatbed works fine.
I've tried all I can think of. Does anyone have any further suggestions? Could it be a fault in the ADF?

Changing Paper size does not change page break?
I am using Oracle Report R6i.
I have created a matrix report showing months horizontally and items vertically. By default, the report displays a vertical line (Page Break Line) at 8 inches (as shown in Ruler).
I change the paper size in Page Setup Menu but still the page break line displaying at 8 inches due to which only 03 months are displaying per page at Landscape mode. My page size is : 210x230 cm.
How can I extend that page break line so that atleast 6 months to be displayed per page.
Regards,
LuqmanChanging the size used by the printer with the page setup dialog does not affect how Reports formats the output. You need to change Reports page size for this.
In 6i, the page size for Reports is controlled by properties against the Section objects (header, main, trailer) in the navigator.
In 2.5 you would set the vertical and horizontal page size in the Reports property palette for all sections. With the introduction of individual sections in 6i, each section can have it's own page size.
In your example you probably want to change the page size against the "main section" to 13" x 8.26" to get the report to format in Landscape. Also remember to set the ORIENTATION parameter or property to "Landscape" so that the printer is set to Landscape as well. -
How to set default paper size in iPhoto?
iPhoto selects a paper size seemingly at random, and I can't find any way to set the default to letter. What am I missing here? I don't have this problem with other applications.
Hi Frank,
Thanks for the additional information.
This bug was originally fixed in 9.0.4 but seems to have been broken again somehow in 9.0.5 and 10.1.2, so I have opened a new bug for it. The bug number is 4032412.
The good news is that this bug does not exist in the 10.1.3 Developer's Preview which will be available very soon! and it also allows you to set the page orientation of the diagrams from within Tools | Preferences.
Thanks for reporting the problem,
