asp_web_howto thread: How to force IE into Landscape mode


Message #1 by "Craig Flannigan" <ckf@k...> on Tue, 23 Jul 2002 09:36:50 +0100
Hi,

How can you force IE to print in landscape mode through code,

-or-

make it remember the Page Setup next time you load up IE. Is there a
registry setting that can be made to keep it in landscape mode?

I don't want to set the main printer driver to landscape as they only need
to print in landscape for IE and not other programs. Constantly changing the
printer settings is becoming a real pain.


Anyone solved this before?


Regards
Craig.

Under CSS2 you can use

@PAGE landscape {SIZE: LANDSCAPE;}

between the <STYLE> and </STYLE> tags. Never tried it myself - must get
round to that :)

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestion. I couldn't get it to work though.

When I go to Print, it's still in Portrait mode.


Regards
Craig.
