Hi to all !
For list of all papersize forms of default printer I'm using:

Dim i As Integer, cFormName as String
Dim oDoc As New System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument()
For i = 0 To oDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes.Count - 1
cFormName = oDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes(i).PaperName
Next

How to list all papersize forms of PRINT SERVER without API-a ??

Thenks !!

I think WMI would be your best bet here. The Win32_Printer class has a
property called PaperSizesSupported that you can use to read the supported
paper sizes on a given printer:

I don't have a ready-made VB.NET example, but here's an example application
in C#:

This example should be quite easy to translate to VB.NET. Hope this helps!
