Re: Why does my LANDSCAPE Document print in LETTER format?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I'm sorry, I've used the wrong terminology. You are correct, "Portrait" is
the word I was meaning to use. My "landscape" documents are printing in
"portrait" orientation. I haven't changed anything with my printer or the
way I feed the paper (default paper tray). I've got both of the computers
hooked up to the same printer, and the "old" computer will print the document
correctly, as landscape, and the new computer insists upon printing the same
document as portrait. Help?

Thank you!
