SW print in portrait BUT option are set in Landscape
SW print in portrait BUT option are set in Landscape
(OP)
Hi everybody!
I have a kind of problem here. I realize that when somebody print my drawings in other printer, with other settings, no matter if the page setup is set to print in landscape, SW2006 SP3.1 always print in portrait. I have to open every drawing, open the page setup, click in OK without changing anything, show print preview, and then, im able to print in landscape. But doing it with a hundred of drawings is just so to much work.
I use a macro to print all drawings in a folder, but it is useless if somebody print my drawings first, because no matter the orientation that was set, it just keep pronting in portrait, until I do all the steps i mentioned before.
I checked my printer settings and seems Ok, because only SW give me this problem....
Does anyboby have an idea how can I solve this "problem"? THanks a lot!!

I would check the windows default printer settings on the other computers. Look under properties printing preferance. I think you will find that they are set to portrait.

But it seems that some printers are more prone to this problem (default configs conflicting with local configs) than others.

If it is a network printer then that would be the ideal place to fix the problem, we use network printers here and that is how we control everything.
