Printer settings

[Popliteal]

Hello. I have a form with a reportviewer in it. I am trying to set the orientation and paper size of the printer. It does NOT work. When the report viewer comes up, and you click the paper settings button it defaults to USER and not the default page settings set on the printer or the program I have written. Code is below.

        If layout = "114" Then ' 2" x .5" 1 label
            With PrintPreview114.ReportViewer114
                '.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "\\GVL02\114 Label Printer (Assembly)" 'Intermec Printer PM4i
                .PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "114 Label Printer (Assembly)" 'Intermec Printer PM4i
                temstr = .PrinterSettings.PrinterName
                goodprinter = TestPrinter(temstr) ' Test to see if printer is installed
                If goodprinter = "" Then
                    MessageBox.Show("114 Lable Printer is not installed. Contact your Administrator.", "Information", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information)
                    Exit Function
                Else
                    If temstr <> goodprinter Then
                        .PrinterSettings.PrinterName = goodprinter
                    End If
                End If
                .ProcessingMode = ProcessingMode.Local
                .PrinterSettings.Copies = lcnumoflabels
                .LocalReport.DataSources.Clear()
                .LocalReport.DataSources.Add(RDS)
                .SetDisplayMode(DisplayMode.PrintLayout)
                'Set the paper
                .PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = False
                'For Each h In .PrinterSettings.PaperSizes
                'temstr = temstr
                'Next
                Try
                    .PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = .PrinterSettings.PaperSizes(1)
                Catch
                    MessageBox.Show("114 Label Printer needs to be setup. Check Paper sizes.", "Information", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information)
                    Exit Function
                End Try
                .LocalReport.SetParameters(param1)
                .LocalReport.SetParameters(param2)
                .LocalReport.SetParameters(param3)
                .LocalReport.SetParameters(param4)
                .LocalReport.Refresh()
            End With
            'PrintPreview114.Show()
            PrintPreview114.ShowDialog()
        End If
