Find the good PaperId...

Hi!

I have to print with a special photo printer, which allows only a
piece of paper formats:
9*13; 10*15, 13*18 , 15*20 , 15*21 and 15*23 (in cm)
(and my current paper is for 13*18 only)

I need to set the good paperId otherwise the printer will not print.

How can I get it?

I tryed to get the paperId after selecting it in the printDialog, but
I didn't manage to find how to get this information...

I hope someone has a solution!
Thanks!

I thought I remembered a way to get the appropriate paper ID from the size of the paper, but I can't seem to find it right now. But perhaps just setting the paper size in the wx.PrintData (with the SetPaperSize(wx.Size) method, passing size in mm) object will do the right thing.

Sorry, I don't know either. Try asking about it on the wx-users list.

Have you tried using wx.SetPaperSize(wx.Size()) after using
wx.SetPaperId(wxPAPER_NONE)? From the wx documents

wxPrintData::SetPaperId

void SetPaperId(wxPaperSize paperId)

  Sets the paper id. This indicates the type of paper to be used.

For a mapping between paper id, paper size and string name, see
wxPrintPaperDatabase in paper.h (not yet documented).

paperId can be one of:

wxPAPER_NONE, // Use specific dimensions

  and

wxPageSetupDialogData::SetPaperSize

void SetPaperSize(const wxSize& size)

  Sets the paper size in millimetres. If a corresponding paper id

is found, it will be set in the internal wxPrintData object,
otherwise the paper size overrides the paper id.

Answer:
Yes I have tried this
pd.SetPaperId(wxPAPER_NONE)
pd.SetPaperSize(wxSize(127, 178))
but same problem again, "paper size doesn't fit", I can't print...

Please ask about this on wx-users and/or create a ticket about it at trac.wxwidgets.org.
