back in the Roaring 80's I used to use John A. Nairn's Printreport

that was a wonderful tool to get access to all the printer stuff. There was no way to get or set just one parameter such as orientation directly but he did provide a way to save all printing parameters by using the data record returned by his Page Setup command.

You would do a page setup and put the returned value in memory somewhere (hidden field, etc) so you could just do a no-dialog PRINT using the stored array parameters. Perhaps there is still a way.....

Apple has always been a bit mysterious about printing.

To print in landscape mode, set the printRotated to true before printing:

  set the printRotated to true
  print card "My Card"

  Note: The printRotated property has no effect on Mac OS and OS X systems.
To print in landscape mode on Mac OS or OS X, use the answer printer or
revShowPrintDialog command to display the Page Setup dialog box before
printing, then choose the Landscape option in the dialog box.

In other words if you are using Mac OS X you cannot automatically switch
between landscape and portrait mode although this makes me wonder...how do
programs that automatically do this like acrobat pro manage to do it?
