Answer 1

Hi Anil,

Welcome to the MSDN Forum.

What do you mean "Print on frist on 25"? what is the meaning of the number 25? 

Would you like to just print a simple things in word with the two printers to check whether the issue is not related to the printer and it is related to your program?

If you tried it, I appreciate you can post the result here.

Best regards,

Hello Mike Feng Thanks for support. I mean to say point location of drawing.

i m writing following code for cheque printing

 Dim Num2 As Double = 0.254
          Dim PageWidth As Integer = 390 cm
          Dim PageHeight As Integer = 850 cm

 PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = True
        'PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = New System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSize("Custom", PageWidth * Num2, PageHeight * Num2)
        PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = New System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSize("Custom", PageWidth, PageHeight)
        PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Bottom = (0.15)
        PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Top = (0.15)
        PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Left = (0.25)
        PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Right = (0)
        PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.PrinterSettings.PrinterResolutions.Item(0).ToString()

------Set Date ( Box Format on Cheque)-----------------------------------------------------------

 e.Graphics.DrawString(Mid(DD.Text, 1, 1), M_ChequeDate, Brushes.Black, 635, 21)

Hi Anil,

Nice to see you again.

Based on your description, it seems that it is similar with your another thread but much more detailed, so would you mind I merge this one with: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vbpowerpacks/thread/ab1ecd2e-5449-4f35-ab4a-e1f0b99947a8 

As I suggested, please try to print something with word with the two printer to make sure there is nothing to do with your code, but the printers.

Best regards,
