I wrote a program to print deposit tickets using pre-printed deposit forms.The forms are the ones used by Peachtree Accounting.I have used this program with three different printers.All three printers are HP.Now I am using the program but the printer is a Lexmark and the print no longer lines up with the form.The print is now about 3/16" below the place where it was printing.I can change the program to reduce the starting place of the print but if another printer is used the print will be off again.If the HP printer is used then the print will be too high.How can I take this in account for each printer that may be used?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to print an image (from file) to a the printer using a PrintDocument.I am re-sizing my image so that it is scaled to be full page on the printout when I print this the image is cropped slightly.
EDIT 2:I am using the margins to calculate the area to use:
With printSettings.DefaultPageSettings
Dim areaWidth As Single = .Bounds.Width - .Margins.Left - .Margins.Right
Dim areaHeight As Single = .Bounds.Height - .Margins.Top - .Margins.Bottom
End With
The bounds of the page are 1169x827 (A4) and with the margins it is 1137x795.After resize my image size is 1092x682 and I am using the following code to draw it:
e.Graphics.DrawImage(printBitmap, .Margins.Left, .Margins.Top)
The annoying thing is that when I print to the PrintPreviewDialog it is scaled perfectly but when I print the exact same code to the actual printer it does not fit.
EDIT 3:Full code can be found at this url Usage:
Dim clsPrint As New clsPrinting
With clsPrint
.Landscape = True
