Default Print a Page


Does anyone have a script I can use to place a link on a page that will
print a page automatically in landscape when clicked on?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Ed

No such script
- you can't control the print mode programmatically

Hello,

You can use CSS.

Note that this will not force the print dialog box to switch to landscape,
but tells the browser how to print it when printing portrait.

I think you can.

Use CSS with one specifically for printing.

The CSS
{size:landscape | portrait | auto | inherit }

was introduced in CSS2, and dropped from CSS2.1 because there was
little or no support in browsers. You can add the code to the page, but
it will probably not work in current browsers (or future browsers since
it's been dropped from the spec.).

CSS can't set the user printer to Landscape
