Print orientation

[CheGueVerra]

Hi All,

Wondering if there is a way to force the print orientation to landscape
using css?

Thanks

There is no way to force anything in author stylesheets, so lets consider
if for userstylesheet angle (makes no difference):

Yes. CSS2. AFAIK only works in print *preview* of some old Opera versions
(6 or 7), and special software. It is not included in CSS21.

Yep. See http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/page.html#propdef-page

The fact that this was dropped from CSS 2.1 probabluy gives you some
idea of how good the browser support is.

Something similar is coming in CSS 3
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/CR-css3-pa...page-size-prop but I
don't know whether any browser supports that part yet.
