changing printer settings by scripting

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 08.2004

Hi everybody,
I like to equip my web page with a print button that allow my visitors to print a special page on their own printers. I have handeled this with “window.print();” statement in my scripts. but the problem is that I need to send this page in landscape orientation. is there anyone who can help me to find a solution to change the page orientation directly by scripting? without using activeX components such as MS ScriptX?

Thnx
Noshad

@requestcodeJan 09.2004 — Not sure if that is possible. I know you can insert Page Breaks through CSS and also create Printer Friendly pages. Here are some links:

The above will not work with older browsers such as NS4 versions. Good Luck.

Success!
