Hi Aswath, this snippet will set the default printer to landscape for the document. Note that this will apply to the server and not the client machine.

 Dim printDoc As New System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument printDoc.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = True

Hope this helps,

I don't believe it's possible (but am not 100%) because the printer settings are part of the client machines config which you can't normally get access to for security reasons.

You may have to settle for some sort of message telling the user to select landscape. And after all, if they print it out in portrait what's the worst that could happen? They'll just have to do it again!

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful,
