Dear Listers,

I have an application that prints (good he!) and I would like to print in 
landscape by default. I am sure I have seen the answer to this on the list 
at some point but it is not in my archives.

Can anyone help?

Change the paper orientation inside your View class
OnPrepareDC as shown below.

void CMyView::OnPrepareDC(CDC* pDC,CPrintInfo* pInfo)
{                                  
    LPDEVMODE       pDevMode;
                
    if (pDC->IsPrinting())
    {
        pDevMode = pInfo->m_pPD->GetDevMode();
        pDevMode->dmOrientation = DMORIENT_LANDSCAPE;
        pDC->ResetDC(pDevMode);
    } 
}

- Sanu.

Here's a code snippet that works with MSVC++ v1.52 - you may be able to make
it work in your situation.

/***************************************************************************/
/*                                                                        
*/
/* SetLandscape: force printer into landscape
mode                         */
/*                                                                        
*/
/***************************************************************************/

void      YourApp::SetLandscape () {

 PRINTDLG   pd;
 pd.lStructSize = (DWORD) sizeof (PRINTDLG);
 // force CWinApp to initialize printer and setup defaults
 if (GetPrinterDeviceDefaults (&pd)) {
  // now lock down the defaults
  DEVMODE FAR *pDevMode = (DEVMODE FAR*)::GlobalLock (m_hDevMode);
  if (pDevMode) {
   // Change printer settings in here.
   pDevMode->dmOrientation = DMORIENT_LANDSCAPE;
   ::GlobalUnlock (m_hDevMode);
  }
 }
}

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government.
It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote
themselves money from the Public Treasury.  From that moment on,
the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most
benifits from the Public Treasury with a result that a democracy
always collapses over loose fiscal policy always followed by a
dictatorship." -Alexander Fraser Tytler
