Re: custom forms in vista
Thanx Allan
But one more thing, i Find an XPS printer too, and after selecting tht
printer i can view all the paper sizes present in the server properties, even
the one i created. So the question is, can i just copy the text of that gpd
file and paste it in the epson gpd file, will that work?
