Dave,
Could I have a example of your setup code as I was trying to do the same
thing in Windows but I could not figure it out how to save and then read it
with out having to setup the printer every time.
Thanks
Jonathon

Tom,
I got it now. I was doing exactly what you said but I was messing up
elsewhere. I needed to add this: stSettings.Text = PageSetup.SetupString
so I could see it, and also remove an extra call to get the
pagesetup.setupstring which was causing most of the trouble for me...Thats
what I get for working into the night :)
Thanks,
Dave

Try loading the setup string back directly to a page setup property when
reading from your .dat file.
For example if you have a property in a module or class "ps As
PageSetup" then save it to a string using TextOutputStream
TextOutputStream.WriteLine EncodedBase64(ps)
and use
ps = DecodeBase64(TextInputStream.ReadLine )
when reading it back in using TextInputStream.
