SUGGESTION
==========

After looking in source code (printer.c) carefully, I beleive that
whatever you have set through has no effect. (I could be wrong if the
source code I saw is too old. Anyway, it is the only one I can find.)
The problem is that the steps of setting printing properties
recommended by Microsoft are not followed. The printer_open() simply
get current settings by calling DocumentProperties() with
DM_OUT_BUFFER. Subsequent setting using printer_set_option() simply
modifies these setting parameters in the buffer. Lacking of 2 steps in
order to make setting printing options working, 
(1) modify resource->device->dmFields bit to indicate which parameters
have been changed
(2) Call DocumentProperties() with DM_OUT_BUFFER | DM_IN_BUFFER. The
resource->device must be passed to the function also.

I suggest modify printer_set_option() to modify
resource->device->dmFields bit as well as resource->device->dmXXX and
create another option parameter - PRINTER_SET_OPTION_NOW that will call
DocumentProperties() with DM_OUT_BUFFER | DM_IN_BUFFER.

I have the same problem with Win2000/IIS too. There is no effect on
using printer_set_option with PRINTER_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE.

Regards.

I use

printer_set_option($handle, PRINTER_ORIENTATION,
PRINTER_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

to set the printer option and try to print some text in landscape
(value=2) but the output still shows up in portrait (value=1).

(printer_get_option($handle, PRINTER_ORIENTATION ) = 2);

Thanks.
