backing up printer forms?
We're migrating our label station to use XP instead of 98. We have a bunch of different sizes of labels that print on tractor feed dot matrix printers.
Under 98 the program can auto-size the page size use by each label size.
The print system is different under XP and the program is not allowed to auto-size. It prints the first row of labels fine, but the printer would "form feed" as if the label were letter size(11" tall), invariably causing multiple rows of labels to be skipped and the next row to print misaligned.
I figured out how to add new "page sizes"(called Forms) to XP. First open START -> SETTINGS -> PRINTERS & FAXES. Then FILE -> SERVER PROPERTIES. Check the CREATE NEW FORM checkbox, give it a name "Label 2.0" and set the width to the max the printer can handle and the height to 2.0. Label 3.5 would have a height of 3.5". There can be multiple label widths per height (ie 1"x2", 1.5"x2", etc) so by setting the width to the max I don't have to create a form for each and every label size, just for each distinct height.
Now that I've created all these forms, everything works fine. However, I'd really like to back up all the forms so I don't have to manually recreate them all in the event the system has to be rebuilt(this is Windows so I figure there's a good chance of that happening). I've checked Microsoft's site and Googled but haven't had any luck.
Any ideas?
