Newbie here - Landscape printing on tractor-feed printer

[Martha]

My problem is I have an OKidata 421 impact printer.
My tractor feed pre-printed form is 11 inches wide and is 8.5 inches long.
I designed my view based on this pre-printed form and it all lines up great,
except I cannot get it to as a true portrait. Instead it prints landscape
sideways...

I did change the configuration of the printer and it does form feed
correctly. But InforPath does not have a "custom" form lenght. I need the
form stop feeding at the 8.5 inch lenght.

I can't be the only person printing on a standard pre-printed portrait form.

PLEASE PLEASE help me!!!
Thank you
Martha

I found what worked and thought I would share in case someone else has the
same problem:

1. in the "printer and faxes" menu, select file/server properties
2. give the form a name (11x8) check the create a new form and set the paper
size width(11) and height(8.50) in the form description.
3. click save form.

Now when I go into the application the 11x8 custom form appears and the form
feed works!!

Hope this helps the person!
