You guys are getting carried away without any concept of the specs. He probably wants to print 5x8 index cards. I used to do this all the time in FoxPro (back to 2.5). It is no big deal. It will run as fast or as slow as any other print job, depending on the data i/o, the complexity of formatting, the printer language, and the printer speed.
The question of "will it fit" is a non-issue or certainly no worse than printing on a full size sheet of paper. For all you know, he is printing Job Ticket numbers to attach to some equipment ... 3 or 4 digits, 3" high. Finally, he's been quiet since he asked this. Probably has the project finished already.
