Q: Setting printer mode

I want to set the MODE of a printer to LANDSCAPE .. (The printer 
is a network printer, which is set to PORTRAIT as default). I am not 
conversant at all with API functions. Would it be possible for you 
to show me an example where I could send a function parameters 
like "portrait" or "landscape" from my code at runtime so that 
I could control the printer settings??

A: 

Rajiv Chakravarti,

 if you are using VB4 or VB5 setting the printer to another mode is 
very simple:
Printer.Orientation = vbPRORLandscape
Printer.Orientation = vbPRORPortrait

if you are using VB3 there is another way to set the orientation. The 
example is at the url:
