Now I hate to say it, but that is quite a sensible idea. It does mean I have
to be able to select a printer using its name, which is something I can't do
yet either, since I can't have both being "the default printer". It is worth
a coat of looking-at, as my boss says.
I'm not sure it is a nice solution because if I can't change orientation under
software control then I can't change anything else either - and I can't have
a printer setup for every variant I may want. Yes, I only want orientation
now, but it has the feeling of being an aspirin not a cure!
