Setting the paper orientation for the default printer

[shabnam]

Hi,
I need to print from VB and I want to set the paper orientation to Landscape. I cannot use the windows print dialog control. So to set the orientation I use the code

Printer.Orientation = vbPRORLandscape

But it still prints in potrait which is the default setting for the printer.

This doesn't work for you?

Printer.Orientation = vbPRORLandscape
Printer.print "Hello"
Printer.enddoc

That piece of code does work. But the problem is that I am using a third party control which brings up the windows print dialog. But even if I set the paper orientation before calling the function that displays the dialog, the dialog always shows the default printer orientation and not the changed one.
