data report hell

[zeppe]

i am printing a report in landscape. in my application i go to the printer dialog and set the orientation to landscape. i then do a printreport and it generates an error of report larger than paper size. If i set the orientation default property to landscape through mycomputer\printers it goes right through.

1) what am i doing wrong?
2) is it possible to set the orientation at run time?

any help would be greatly appretiated
