Hi,

I have a crystal report with printer setup - Landscape.

And a crystal report viewer with print button - enabled.

When I am printing the report it comes out as portrait (as the default set
up of the printer is portrait.)

I want the report should come as Landscape Only.

(With out altering the default setting of the printer....)

How can I force my report to come as landscape?

Hi Ulka,

It may be your printer. When my crystal reports printer setup in the report
is set to 'landscape', the report automatically prints in landscape; I don't
have to do anything with the printer settings to make this happen.

HTH,

Hi Bernie Yaeger,
Thanks .
When I print from cysrtal report the report is printing ok i.e landscape.
When I try to Print the same report from VB.net windows application ,It
picks the default setting of the local printer and not the setting of the
report

Hi Ulka,

My .net app prints the report after displaying the viewer control as
landscape or portrait, based only upon the report's settings as defined in
the crystal environment. I print using a reportdocument object, but I am
not setting the orientation in it, so I still think the issue is with your
printer.

Are you setting the PrinterName in your VB.NET application?

Try checking the PrintOptions.PaperOrientation setting before and after
you set the PrinterName, or before you print the document, and see what
it's set to. It should be set to Landscape.

Hi Bruce,

I'm neither setting the orientation nor the printername, but your idea is
good, and Ulka should try this, as his printer might need to 'boost'.
