printer.Is there way that it should use the default printer
automatically. I also want to make the users to print the webpages in
landscape.

I read that there is way to do in css.

There might be. You'd have to check the documentation for your browser
or, if you want to ask in Usenet, choose a more appopriate group, e.g.,
comp.infosystems.www.browsers.*

You can't make them do anything they don't want to do, unless you stand
behind them with a weapon of some sort.

There are some print media rules, but support is extremely limited; I
think only Opera pays any attention to such rules. As such, I've paid
little attention to them.

How do you know which printer your users want to print your pages on?

This is what you read about:

@page { size: landscape; }

It will work in browsers with print capabilities which fully support
CSS2, which, as Brian notes, are very few. When I say it will work, I
don't mean it'll make the users print in landscape, but rather it'll
tell the browser that you want it printed in landscape.

Very well said. CSS as optional is a concept hard to impress on folks.
