Error with paper size when printing from 2011 on a Windows 7 64 bit PC

I am experiencing an error with paper size when printing from 2011 on a Windows 7 64 bit PC

even if I hard code Ledger size I get Letter size.

 

The same VBA project referenced from WinXP or Windows 7 32 bit prints to the Ledger size as it should.

 

What could be happening here?

 

Is the Paper Size enumeration different on 64 bit?

I have the same issue, with a Xerox 6604 printer. But also on 32bit and 64bit.

 

kPaperSizeA4 and kPaperSizeA3 Prints

kPaperSizeA2 to kPaperSizeA0 Prints as A4

 

Did you happen to been found a solution to this problem?

My issue is with using a custom VBA program and the Inventor API to batch print jobs.

Regardless of what we programmically set the papersize to be it prints Letter size.

 

Our work around is not a programming solution.

 

In the case of the 64 bit driver for our Kyocera Mita 4035 we found that ( Per inventor session.) 

 

1) Manually launch a print job. 

2) Set the Papersize to Ledger.

3) Preview the PrintJob.

4) Cancel or Print the Job from Preview.

 

Until we close and reopen inventor printing from our program results in Ledger papersize

 

Ugly but workable.  I do not know if your driver will work the same.

Thanks for the reply.
Afterwards our problem of a different nature.

Our problem is the driver of the machine (I think) that this report only letter paper is available.
Now I suspected, that I here to look for the solution to my VBA script problem.

similar problems happen on mine. the vba script works on some printer not on others. The printer can not pick up papersize.
