Re: Can't print landscape

Hmm. I have a LaserJet and never had any problem printing landscape from
Word 2002.

Okay, I did a search on Google Groups for Landscape and Print and after a
bit of digging, found out that there is a known bug that causes problems
with Word 2000 and Windows XP printing landscape orientation, particularly
with the HP Laserjet series of printers. (See link below)


http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.win2000.printing/browse_thread/thread/db57f139e6be5010/f93ebef96ec766bc?lnk=st&q=Print+landscape&rnum=4&hl=en#f93ebef96ec766bc

I tried setting the landscape option in the printer properties, but that
didn't help with regular documents, but it did allow a rather unusual
workaround.

I tried printing a calendar off the web as a landscape and it worked! So I
played with it and found that if I save my document page as an "htm" file,
then I can print it as a landscape.
But (on my system, at least) it won't work on the document I immediately
saved as an htm document (even thought that document now seems to have
changed to a web page). I had to close that particular document, then go
open the htm document I just saved, and then it worked! I hope that
description is clear. There may be someone else out there with the same
problem hoping for some kind of a workaround.

But the paper keeps printing in portrait orientation.
What am I doing wrong?

Windows XP
Word 2000

Is your printer capable of printing in landscape mode?
