Not sure if this is the correct forum, but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction...

Within the software I use, we press a print icon that calls an XSL page that displays the necessary data. This then opens the print dialogue window as usual.

The problem I have is this particular page needs to be printed in landscape orientation, which means the user is forced to manually adjust the printer settings each time. I can't just adjust the default to print landscape because the printer is also used to print other documents in portrait format.

Is there any thing I can do that forces the printer to print landscape when this page is loaded? I've thought about simply rotating the data on the excel sheet by 90 degrees as a work around, but this would obviously affect the way the data appears on screen before it is printed.

Any help, pointers appreciated.

Cheers

W
