Dynamic paper height with .NET PrintDocument

I ran into a problem with sizing pages on a thermal printer. I have started from this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/27165167/1030464 and now I have the code I pasted below.

This works nicely, however altough I calculate and set the size of the page, it seems to print a full A4 sized page each time. (I am testing on a Sam4s Ellix II and Microsoft PDF Printer) - It is a big problem, as it's needed to often print 5-6 line long text snippets.

I need to support multiple thermal printers and I only need the basic functions (so no need to receive signals such as paper jam, etc.) so I decided to go with the Windows printer driver, instead of the POS for .NET one.

I calculate the height of the text and size the paper accordingly, however it has no effect on the output paper size. Does anyone have a solution for this issue?

Thank you very much

You don't have to calculate height when printing to POS printers, as driver handles paper height and cut at the end of the document. Go to POS printer settings and select 'Receipt' as paper size. Usually there are also settings to control how and when printer cuts paper (Full Cut, Partial Cur, Feed Only, ...)
