Changing Printing Options

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 11.2005

Hello All,
I need to print a report page. I am using jsps and j2ee, but that does not really matter. When I am printing I use the javascript:window.print() on the onclick event of my image button. The problem is that I want to change the printing option from portrait to landscape without having the user have to go to page setup and chage it there. Also, it would be nice if the browser print dialogue was skipped and the page was printed on the default printer. Does anyone know a javascript or any other kind of solution to either of these problems?
Thanks,
Matt

@A1ien51Aug 11.2005 — Util the browsers support the CSS option to do it, you are out of luck. IE has activeX controls that you can find on the web that control print settings. All of my reports are built with a pdf generator so I do not have to worry about this!
