forcing landscape print
- Thread starter bluebytez
- Start date
I don't think that there is a way to force the orientation of a print.
I have come across several java/vb applications/code that alow u to manage printing from a site but they don't deal with it very well.
your best bet it to inform the user that they need to adjust the settings on the print menu when they go to print the image.
You could do this either by text on the page or a popup window.
here is the code, this can either be in the body tag (on load) or in the image tag.
I hope this helps

Code:
<img src="fimagename" onMousedown="MM_popupMsg('Please select landscape for the print orientation in the print menu')">
<body onLoad="MM_popupMsg(''Please select landscape for the print orientation in the print menu')">Manic
