Page Set up orientation for Printing Problem

[Guest]

I am having an annoying problem with "Page Set Up" in Internet Explorer 6.0
It defaults to landscape and each time I reset it to print in portrai and
print and close IE 6.0 then reopen it its back to landscape. Why? There is
no way to save the setting for Orientation of page.

Hi Pipster

What is the preference in the page you are trying to print? What is the
default setup in your printer? These may affect the setup in your document.

Try right clocking on the page you want to print, click Print, and set the
Setup or Page setup there before you print.

If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages. Some pages can be preset by the
webmaster.

Hope this helps

IE doesn't save that setting.
Change it in Control Panel-Printers.

My default in the printer is Portrait. I have to manually set the page set up in IE each and every time I want to print. My printer is HP 1300.

Hi Pipster
set up in IE each and every time I want to print. My printer is HP 1300.
Try Alan's suggestion to set the default page orientation in the Printer
setup from the Control Panel>Printers..... if trying to set it from the
File>Print> and setting the page orientation to Portrait does not make it
default to that setup for printing in IE.

Hope this helps

Hi Guys

How can you enable page setup setting to all users via GPOs'. I wanted to
implement a solution, where Internet Explorers default print setup would be
landscape.

But for the rest of the programs the default would be portrait.

Thanks
