Printing in Landscape mode

[Streetdaddy]

I have sifted through a lot of topics about printing in Landscape mode but none of them provide a working example and I think I'm more confused than when I started looking!

I have a page which does a window.print() which obviously brings up the Printer dialog. I want the page to print out in Landscape mode without the user having to set their printer options to Landscape.

I've tried:
<style type=&quot;text/css&quot; media=&quot;print&quot;>
@page {size: landscape;}
</style>
and
<style type=&quot;text/css&quot; media=&quot;print&quot;>
@media print {size: landscape;}
</style>
but neither works...

Has anyone been able to achieve this? If so, can you provide the required CSS, I.e. the required parameters for the <STYLE> tag and the CSS class(es)...

Any help is much appreciated!

Those Micros~1 guys sure know what they doing!

hmmm... I've never seen that done. I know that window.print() is the EXACT same thing as pressing the print button on the file menu, so i don't think it's possible with css. if you do figure it out i would really like to see it though. Good luck
