I figured out how to print an x,y graph from a table of data in VB6. But I can't get it to print in landscape mode. If I set it to landscape mode, it defaults to portrait mode when it prints the graph. All of my efforts have been in vain. What simple thing am I overlooking?

printing in landscape mode

The solution to my problem that I received from DRWUNTZ might work for printing text, I tried the suggestion of Print.Orientation = VBPRORLandscape and Printer.Print ...
My clarification is that I am printing a purely graphical picture, if you will, with no text. It will print the screen if I set autoredraw to TRUE, but won't allow me to set the printer to the landscape mode, so consequently not everything on the right side of my graph gets printed. I have looked in vain through the 900 plus page book by Gary Cornell on VB6 and can't seem to find anything on printing of graphical figures. A friend suggested that I paste it and rotate the image so that I won't need the landscape mode to print it. I'm not sure that is how I should proceed. I am currently thinking that I may just reduce the entire figure to the point where I can get it all on in portrait mode although it would be nice to be able to print screen in the landscape mode.
