when using window.print(), can you pass a value that will tell the printer to use landscape ??

thanx.
 
This has been tossed around quite a bit in the industry and the basic answer is:

NO you can't.

But, yes YOU can, however, the script that is supposed to trick the printer into printing landscape works 30% of the time and only in IE. I've never gotten it to work.
 
do you know where i can see a sample of the code for interest sake ?
