Changing default printer orientation

[rgordley]

For some reason my VB6 IDE has decided that the printer orientation default should be landscape. I can't seem to find any information on how to change this back to portrait. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance
Rich

As far as I know, the (any/all) printer properties are taken from the printer object. You can both read and write the properties, but each time you instantiate the printer object it gets the current settings from the actual device. If this is correct, someone has set the default AT the printer, and it can only be changed AT the printer.

No, you misunderstood the question. I want to change the default printer orientation in the IDE (the programming environment) for printouts of code, etc. Printing programmatically is easily controlled with the printer object, but how do you set the default for the VB environment itself???

Sorry, I must have read it to quickly. I don't know this. I will look at it later, but at the moment my system is bogged down with a HUGE database update process and starting another copy of VB isn't on the agenda.
