I read an article one time that helped me understand why programmers do not have access to printer settings via _javascript_. The printer settings are considered to be a part of the browser preferences. The opinion is that each user should be allowed to control how pages are printed. Thus, allowing a web site to change the page orientation is viewed (by some) as taking control of the browser away from the user.

It was my understanding that @page is not supported by Mozilla.
I wish browsers had better support for setting print options using
_javascript_. It seems like programmers are essentially relegated to
showing a prompt of instructions for the user (to manually set print
options), prior to printing the page (or report).
