Some API functions for printer

[yfellow]

Hi,
Some printers that I could set the pagesize to User-defined and set the printer.width and printer.height. But some printer does not let me to do these kinds of settings. I did some research about it, and it said that it has to do with the printer's driver.
I am wondering if any API functions that I can set the page size to 5' x 3'?
Your answer will be valuable to me.

Thank you very much!
