title: Printing on roll paper
body: <p>I am using C# with Winforms. I am trying to print bills on a paper roll. The width of the paper is 3in but the length of the paper is dynamic (its a roll paper). The length depends on how many items are there in the list. E.g. in a purchase if there are 100 items sold then it will be quite long roll while for a single item purchased it would be of small length.</p>
  
  <p>When I print the report, after the end job, printer eject the last page more than I need. It eject paper as long as A4 size. I want to print the required lines, then stop printing. 
  I use a roll of paper, not A4 or A3 and an Epson LQ-300 + II printer.</p>
  
  <p>To be more specific, printing is always done to page-sized units. If I set the page to be 3in x 8in then I always end up with a printout that is a multiple of 8in long. If I have a 9in bill to print, I end up with a 16in printout, wasting 7in of paper. How can I print with the last page being only as long as it needs to be?</p>
  
  <p>Here is the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>private void printDoc_PrintPage(Object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)
          {
              Font printFont = new Font("Courier New", 12);
              int y = 15;
              e.Graphics.DrawString("a Line", printFont, Brushes.Black, 0, y); y = y + 20;
              e.Graphics.DrawString(" Line", printFont, Brushes.Black, 0, y); y = y + 25;
              e.Graphics.DrawString(" Line", printFont, Brushes.Black, 0, y); y = y + 35;
              e.Graphics.DrawString(" Line", printFont, Brushes.Black, 0, y); y = y + 45;
          }
  </code></pre>
