Can not print in landscape format

[Guest]

Hello,

I'm using PowerPoint Xp on W2k SP4 workstation. HP 895 CXI printer is
installed. Office XP was installed as upgrade over
previous -- 2000 version.
After upgrade, I can't print in landscape format anymore.
Even print preview in landscape is unavailbale, I'm choosing
landscape format, but the program simply skips the definition.
The problem exist only in PowerPoint, and only when I try to print to HP895
CXI printer. I tried to update printer driver from HP -- it didn't help.

I would be very grateful for your help.
Thanks,
Gary.

Hello Sonia,

I've tried the described solution several times, playing with defaults and
changing the printer driver.
Nothing helps.
Any more ideas?

Thanks,

No. Maybe someone else will.

Hello Sonia,

I successfuly overcame the problem by removing printer driver
provided by HP and installing driver which comes with W2K.

Thanks,
