Yes, we all know this already. This is not news. The question though was how
does one code a program to place a printer into 'Landscape Mode' as opposed to
getting a User to respond to a dialog box.

It would appear that the program needs to set the appropriate data fields in the
DEVMODE structure and use this somehow. I haven't spent a lot of time on this
yet.
