Hello,
I am using the code below to send documents to a network printer. I am doing this so that if we change the default printer on the server it will not interfere with the script I have set to run. The problem I am encountering is that everytime it prints it is not fitting to the size of the page. So the right side ends up getting cut off. Is there a better way of doing this? or is there a way for me to fix this?

Thank you,
Travis

have you checked the printer settings? you may have the wrong page layout, ie. Letter instead of A4.

What is the format is the document? Plain text, RTF, word, PDf, etc...... The answers could be different and the format matters. Also the printer settings do matter as the apostolic one said.

It is in a RPT format...which is basically the same as a TXT document. The printer settings are okay, checked them.

Try this at a command prompt.

"%programfiles%\windows nt\accessories\wordpad.exe" /pt "document path and name.rpt" "\\server\sharedprinter"
