Print: How to automatically define the orientation to landscape? (RESOLVED)

e.PageSettings.Landscape = True and PrinterDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = True didn't work for me.

How to automatically define the orientation to landscape?


Thanks.

I thought for sure I posted a reply to this yesterday. Anyhow, don't set printer orientation in the PrintPage event (which is what you seem to be doing), set it before the PrintDocument.Print event is called:
ms-help://MS.VSCC.2003/MS.MSDNQTR.2003FEB.1033/cpref/html/frlrfSystemDrawingPrintingPageSettingsClassLandscapeTopic.htm

VB Code:

Public Sub Printing()
    Try
        streamToPrint = New StreamReader(filePath)
        Try
            printFont = New Font("Arial", 10)
            Dim pd As New PrintDocument()
            AddHandler pd.PrintPage, AddressOf pd_PrintPage
            pd.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = printer
            ' Set the page orientation to landscape.
[b]            pd.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = True
            pd.Print()[/b]
        Finally
            streamToPrint.Close()
        End Try
    Catch ex As Exception
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
    End Try
End Sub

This tested OK for me.

Oh, you are right!

Thanks! :D

cheers mate
