Selecting Paper Orientation at runtime

We distribute runtime Crystal Reports to clients.
Some of our clients need to print a report (created in portrait format) as a landscape orientation report. Yes, this will leave a wide right margin, but this is how they would like the report.

Problem: Crystal 9 removed the Default Properties checkbox from the Print Setup screen that allowed the user to decide the orientation of the report at print time. The report is saved with the orientation chosen in Page Setup.

The user now has to have two different printers set up. One for landscape and one for portrait. If they want to print a portrait report to a landscape printer, they have to make sure they select the portrait report and vice versa.

Is there any way for the user to decide this at runtime and have the report print accordingly?
