The Printerinfo.exe utility
This utility (located under BIN\ folder of the installation path) displays, for every printer installed on the local machine (also network printers), the accepted codes to be used in the SHEET_FORMAT.LST file. It is easier to use than the DBWGDPPS.EXE utility.
Press the button Load available printers to populate the list of the available printers, then select a printer to display the accepted codes.
At the bottom, there is a list ready to be copied and pasted in the SHEET_FORMAT.LST file.
More information on the subject is available in the topic Plotting large paper size sheets.

oPrintMgr.Printer = sPrinter
If sPaperSize<>0 Then
oPrintMgr.PaperSize = sPaperSize
End if
oPrintMgr.SubmitPrint
...
