Hi there,

I wrote a small program and it uses this procedure for printing.

Printer()->Title = "PrintOut";
Printer()->BeginDoc();
Printer()->Canvas->Font->Size = 10;
Printer()->Canvas->TextOutA(1600,205,"3887");
Printer()->Canvas->TextOutA(1500,280,"Adams Hoop");
Printer()->Canvas->Font->Size = 12;
Printer()->Canvas->TextOutA(1450,375,Edit1->Text);
Printer()->Canvas->TextOutA(770,375,"# "+Edit2->Text+" #");
Printer()->Canvas->TextOutA(1100,480,Edit6->Text);
Printer()->Canvas->Font->Size = 10;
Printer()->Canvas->TextOutA(250,525,"+Edit3->Text+" .-
"+ComboBox1->Text);
Printer()->Canvas->TextOutA(250,570,Edit4->Text);
Printer()->Canvas->TextOutA(350,620,Edit5->Text);
Printer()->Canvas->TextOutA(320,670,IntToStr(Day));
Printer()->Canvas->TextOutA(430,670,IntToStr(Month));
Printer()->Canvas->TextOutA(520,670,IntToStr(Year));
Printer()->EndDoc();

It works great but there is a small problem with it.I'm using 
Lexmark 2380 plus for printing and I'm using A5 papers(210x148 
mm, half of A4 210x297 mm).When i print first document and load 
second paper, it ejects the second paper.Then i load it again 
it accepts.I think it is caused that i can not define the 
default paper to A5.It still takes it as A4.
So how can i solve it?
