Wouldn't that be a print-to-file, rather than print-on-paper, issue? If being unable to print in landscape is an application problem, that's often down to trying to do it in the wrong way. e.g. With a word processor, the page formatting settings determine landscape or portrait printing, not the printer settings. Likewise with graphics programs, though aspect ratio tending to be automatic determination. The printer will print the page in the aspect that the page is actually laid out, automatically, rather than squeeze or stretch the picture along the page to print the wrong way around, unless deliberate steps are taken regarding stretching. By way of illustrative example, if the large rectangle represents the paper, and the asterisks what is going to be printed on the page, printing like this tends to be avoided by software: +--------------------------------+ | ****** | | ****** | | ****** | | ****** | | ****** | +--------------------------------+ You have to go out of your way to print in the aspect and orientation that you want. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
