change settings to default printer by code

[stx]

Hi

is it possible to change for example the page-orientation of the default-printer (or another printer) to landscape?

My problem is that i want to send a txt-file to the printer without using the common dialog control and it must be printed in landscape.

Basically this is what i want: change de default printer setting from portrait to landscape by code, send some files to the printer and then reset the printer's page-orientation to portrait.

Is this possible.
Any thoughts are welcome.

thnx

To set the default printer's orientation to landscape, use the following line of code:

Printer.Orientation = vbPRORLandscape

Send your documents to the printer, then change the orientation back to portrait with the following line of code:

Printer.Orientation = vbPRORPortrait
