Hi Gang: First, thanks to all who responded to my first query. The article pointed to was a big help. My next question concerns paper orientation. Under Windoz I can set the orientation from portrait to landscape and the printer understands. On Solaris, the pop-up dialog box does not allow the orientation to be changed but does allow for extra printer commands. I have set the PageFormat orientation to be PageFormat.LANDSCAPE by default which ,again, works fine with NT. On Solaris, the dimension of the page is set as though it was going to print in landscape, but the paper is not turned on its side to accept the output. Any Clues?? Thanks, Greg ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
