[Lazarus] Paper Size

[Terry A. Haimann]

Maybe I am not being clear.

I have a report I am printing. It has logic similar to:

PageCnt := 1; Cnt := 0;
Query.First
Repeat
Printer.BeginDoc;
Printer.Canvas.Pen.Color := 0;
Printer.Canvas.Font.Name := 'Courier New';
Printer.Canvas.Font.Size := 8;
LineCnt := 1;
Printer.Canvas.TextOut(1, KKTop, 'Heading Line);
LineCnt := 3;
Repeat
Line := Query.Field1;
Printer.Canvas.TextOut(1, LineCnt * KKLineSize, Line);
DatabaseForm.Query.Next;
Until ((LineCnt > KKMaxLines) or (Query.Eof));
Printer.EndDoc;
Until Query.Eof;

The problem is that it starts to print a quarter of the page down. I am 
running Fedora 10 and Lazarus 0.9.26.2

I have noticed that there is a TPageSetupDialog, but I don't know if I 
used it correctly. I just put in the height and width of my paper in mm. 
Again I am using 8.5 x 11 inch paper "US Letter".
