  You helped me in a previous issue where the detail section of a report grew unexpectedly when the report was run or displayed in “Preview” mode.

  The fix included adding: Me.PageSettings.PaperKind = System.Drawing.Printing.PaperKind.Custom

  Now, when I print the report, it doesn’t print.

  To make it print, I need to:

  1. In the print dialog, I click on “Properties”
  2. Then I click on “Advanced”
  3. Then I change “Paper Size” from ARCustomForm to “Letter”.

  Two questions:

  1. How can I change the Paper Size to default to Letter? Because of an earlier posted issue, I can’t use the Printer Settings tab of the Report Settings dialog. It’s garbled.

  2. I want to run the report and print the report directly from my code, without user interaction. How can I do this?

  Thanks.

  Hello,

  1. How can I change the Paper Size to default to Letter? Because of an earlier posted issue, I can’t use the Printer Settings tab of the Report Settings dialog. It’s garbled.

  You could set the “PaperKind” property of Printer to “Letter”. Please refer the following line of code

  sectionReport.Document.Printer.PaperKind = Printing.PaperKind.Letter
  

  2. I want to run the report and print the report directly from my code, without user interaction. How can I do this?

  You can use the “Print” method of SectionDocument to print through code. Please refer the following line of code:

   sectionReport.Document.Print(False, False)
  

  Note: You need to import “GrapeCity.ActiveReports” namespace to use “Print” method.

  Hope it helps,

  Thanks.

  Thanks for your help.

  Since the following statement was in the form that contained the viewer, I didn’t need to add the “GrapeCity.ActiveReports” namespace…

  Viewer1.Document.Printer.PaperKind = Printing.PaperKind.Letter
