Hmm....
I just noticed that you are trying to set the printPaperSize property after using the "answer printer" command. According to the docs, this is not possible. After you use "answer printer", you cannot manually adjust these properties until you restart Rev (or your standalone).
Maybe that is related to your problem?

Thanks for the reply, Frank.
However, it didn't work. I tried it on my Mac, and when I opened the PDF
file I created (rather than direct
to the printer) I got an error message--wrong operand or some such thing.
When I tried actually printing, the printer light flashed once as it
usually does before printing, but nothing else happened. (At least RR
didn't crash as is also usual after printing--I think since I used the
clone function--I'm using RR2.1.2)
Perhaps my choice of the rect after the 'into' is off the page. I used the
printmargin numbers (see script portion below).

Why not specify the rect on the page as well as on the card (print this
card from <x> to <x> into <rect>)...

Hello Group, I've created a little app to print labels, and am trying to adapt it to do envelopes. I'm having trouble getting my head around the numbers. I have the rect of the fld to which the address info goes, and have the handler print the card from the first two numbers of the fld rect to the last two. This is a segment of the printing handler:
if the platform is "MacOS" then answer printer else set the printrotated to true open printing with dialog if envchoice is "short" then set the printPaperSize to 261,468 set the printmargins to 200,144,36,36 end if if envchoice is "long" then set the printPaperSize to 297,684 set the printmargins to 360,144,36,36 end if print this card from 4,31 to 193,103 close printing
When I print (to PDF) on my Mac (since RR crashes if I try to do a real
print), the fld is all there, but on Windows, I lose most of the field.
What's the interconnection between the various sets of numbers? The
papersize is just 72 X the dimensions of standard (North American)
envelopes, and the margins are supposed to put the address in the right
place on the envelope. Any enlightenment would be helpful.
