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! Andy
