PaperSize not taking

[Anonymous]

We're using Inventor 2010 and I am having trouble getting a drawing to print to the paper size I specify in my code. I print like this:

dwgPrintMgr.Printer = prn.getPath()
dwgPrintMgr.PrintRange = PrintRangeEnum.kPrintAllSheets
dwgPrintMgr.PaperSize = PaperSizeEnum.kPaperSize11x17
dwgPrintMgr.Orientation = PrintOrientationEnum.kLandscapeOrientation
dwgPrintMgr.ScaleMode = PrintScaleModeEnum.kPrintBestFitScale
dwgPrintMgr.NumberOfCopies = 1
dwgPrintMgr.SubmitPrint()

but the print comes out as 8.5x11 every time (which is the default size on the printer). If I manually print from Inventor and choose 11x17 paper size, it works fine. Has anyone else seen this? Any idea what is happening?

Thanks.

Have you tried to set first the orientation and that the papersize ?

I know, when you change some settings (like the printer name) the papersize changes.

Try to step trough the code and check add a watch for the papersize.

Thanks for the reply. Great idea! Unfortunately, it didn't help.

I wonder if it has something to do with using PaperSizeEnums instead of the real paper size, but this is the only option with Inventor (I believe).

Have you tried using other paper sizes?
There is also an option to turn 90 degrees?
Try printing on an other printer like a PDF printer (http://www.primopdf.com/)
It cloud be your printer driver (maybe, look if there is an update for your printer driver)
