I have been looking into write to the printer as a file but I can't figure
out how to get the printer information to know when to move to the next
page?  Same problem different story.  I have tried this three different ways
(now four) and have not had success either setting the page size or getting
the page size or printer information (margins, pixels per inch, etc.).  I am
beginning to wonder where Team B is during all of this, this should have
been the easiest question for them to answer.  Not to mention that the
examples on the website are all either in Delphi or in Builder and don't
work.
