Comics printing in landscape format

apologies if this has already been addressed somewhere, but i was unable to find anything on a quick search.
i've been receiving the comics for some time now on my 8600 and they have been printing normally in the portrait orientation. but with no warning approximately four days ago, the pages started printing in landscape. and instead of the individual strips being sized to fit the page, they have been shrunken down to fit six comics on one page (again, in landscape format).
before the comics started printing incorrectly, no changes were made to the printer, except for setting the defaul print tray to tray 2. that being said, both print trays have always been, and are still set to accomodate (use) 8x11 paper.
can someone explain why the print orientation and sizing has randomly changed all of a sudden and how to fix it? i'm very frustrated with it and am ready to disable the comics because of the change. (and that would make me a *very* unhappy camper because i do enjoy getting them!)
any help is greatly appreciated. ty!

Printing to Landscape format, not Portrait

Hello,
I'm trying to turn a PDF that was created in Landscape format
into a Flash Paper SWF. When I drag the PDF onto Flash Paper, it
creates a SWF but in a Portrait (print) format. This isn't
acceptable because you can't read the content (unless you hold your
laptop sideways for the whole thing). I didn't see an option
anywhere in Flash Paper to set this. I imagine there must be a way
to do this?

After additional research I have found that the only way to get my labels to consistently print in landscape is to edit them with a previous version of Crystal.
I had hoped that I could save to a previous version from Crystal 2008 but there is no option to do this. I was thinking this because MS Word and MS Excel can saave to previous versions (2007 will save to 95 etc.)
Hope this helps others.

How to print in landscape format from SmartForms

I already choose a landscape page format in my output option. But when it printed out from the Zebra Xiii 110 printer, it is still in portrait format. Did I miss anything?

Hi Barry,
I am not printing to Front End computer (Option F). Instead, I am using Option U, Printing using Berkerly Protocol to a remote computer. In this case, how would the print format such as print orientation can be set?
Please let me know ASAP. Urgent.
Thanks

Report to be printed in Landscape format....

Hi ,
I have developed a report whose width (length from the left side... to right side , using a ruler) is 19,5cm at portrait......
The same report at landscape using a ruler is 15cm in width..... There are margins to both sides ....
The report was printed in A4 page size (portrait,landscpape) afterwards it was generated to PDF file... In other words , i generated the report to PDF file , i printed it in portrait , landspace and then i used a ruler to find out what is the width of each printing type.....
Why is this difference...??? Is there i can do in Report Builder for this report ....????
I use Dev Report10g.....
Many thanks,
Sim

It seems that the key to the solution is to shrink the margins.....
Greetings,
Sim

ABAP Report - Landscape format

I need to change the report display to landscape. Right now the report gets cut off at 178 characters. How do I allow for more than 178 characters, horizontally? Also, how can I ensure that the report prints in landscape format? I used FM GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS to set the print format to landscape but it still cuts off at 178 characters, with room for more.

Hi,
You need to specify Line size and Line count at statement "REPORT ZNAME".
Check below code, this report will have 60 rows and 220 columns.
REPORT ZNAME LINE-SIZE 220 LINE-COUNT 60 NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.
More Information:
... LINE-SIZE width
Effect
This addition specifies the line width of the basic list and details list of the program to width characters, and sets the system field sy-linsz to this value. The line width determines the number of characters in the line buffer as well as the number of columns in the list displayed. The value width must be a positive numeric literal. The maximum line width is 1,023 characters.
LINE-COUNT page_lines (footer_lines)
Effect
This addition specifies the page length for the basic list of the program to page_lines lines and fills the system field sy-linct with this value. If the LINE-COUNT is not specifed, and if page_lines are less than or equal to 0 or greater than 60,000, then the page length is set internally to 60,000. This setting overwrites the passed value of the like-named LINE-SIZE addition to the statement SUBMIT and can be overwritten during list creation with the like-named LINE-COUNT addition to the statement NEW-PAGE.

Can't print in Landscape mode since installing Snow Leopard

Since the installation of Snow Leopard 10.6.2 I can't print in landscape format from application such as Word, powerpoint, Turbo Cad, etc, on my network printer. This is despite changing my page set-up and printer settings My only work around at the moment is to print to a PDF document and print a hardcopy from there. Any thoughts...??

Hi fruhulda,
1000 thanks for your help. I've tried everything you suggested. Nothing really fixed the problem except creating a new account. In the new account, I could open and use Pages documents I had created before I switched to Snow Leopard. And all of the functions seemed to work properly, including copy and paste.
In order to use my old, pre-Snow Leopard documents, I had to put them into a shared folder, so that I could access them from my new account. Does this mean I'm going to have to move ALL of my files from my old account into a shared folder, bring them into the new account, and make the new account my main account? If so, that seems like a lot of annoyance and a lot of work. Not that I'm blaming you--thanks for the fix. It just would have been nice not to have to start from scratch.
Also one or two worrying things came up when I did my disk repair, namely, the following two messages:
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFramework/DesktopServicesPriv.framework/Versions/A/Resou rces/Locum" has been modified and will not be repaired.
I did some looking around in old forums and other people have gotten these messages before and seemed to be pretty worried about them. I don't really understand what they mean, and I guess I'm wondering if I should be worried about them too.
Again thank you very much for your help so far.

SQL Plus command to print a report in Landscape format

Hi,
what is the SQL Plus command to print a report in Landscape format?

Hi,
what is the SQL Plus command to print a report in Landscape format?SQLPlus doesn't print, and it doesn't know about 'landscape' vs. 'portrait' any more than it knows about fonts. the only 'formatting' it knows is line size, page size. And all it does with line size is know where to insert a CR/LF pair (windows) or a CR (*nix). The only thing it knows to do with page size is repeat column headers.
The rest is up to whatever application you use to open the pure asciii text spool file.

Smartforms in Zebra Printer - Landscape Format

Hi all,
I have two issues....Kindly help me in this regard.
1) I have developed 9 labels in smart forms (all to be printed in Zebra printer) of which 4 should be in Landscape format. I have changed the settings in my smart form(Page>OutputOption>Landscape) for the 4 labels.So, when I give the printout of all the 9 labels these 4 alone should be in Landscape format ad the rest in Portrait format.
But, every label comes in Portrait format only.
2) In the above label in 1 particular label half of the label is completely black and only remaining half is seen.
I have used the device type :- ZLZEB2 based on the SAP Notes 750002 and 750772.
Kindly help me in this regard as the requirement is pretty urgent.Any information would be helpful.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramky.G

Hello Martin,
Yes, I know about the sap-notes and have tried the tips too. However, the printout is all mugged up on the same line. This my problem. I will try with new-line command and see if the lines print would be seperated line for line.
Do you have an example for me, with screen shots etc?
However, thanks. I have given points
Blacky.

Printer model hp laser jet p3005dn always prints second page in landscape format.

Printer prints even page in landscape format only. Even if in program (say msword) the page is in portrait format.

Hi,
The instructions (from your link) say you have to connect USB, how do you connect it now ? HP does not supply driver but Windows 8 & 8.1 MAY have generic/basic driver for it. The link also says you have to use Windows update. Amazing to see a 15-20years old printer is still up and running, only the Operating system kills it.

Character mode Report in Landscape Format

Hi All,
I want to print my character mode report in landscape format. But I am not getting it. Everytime I get print as Portrait. I am printing from live previewer of report builder.
I am using Oracle 9i and Report builder 6i (6.0.8.11.3).
I have done following settings:
System Parameter ORIENTATION=Landscape
DESFORMAT=DECLAND.PRT (Given by Oracle)
In the object navigator I have set following properties for Main Section
Width=11
Height=8.5
Orientation=Landscape
Char Mode Width=132
Char Mode height=66
I have done same settings for Header Section and Trailer Section. Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

You will need to edit prt files to add the printer escape sequences to change the page orientation to landscape. Printer escape sequences can be obtained from the printer manual, or the printer vendor.
For instance, HP printer escape codes can be obtained from the HP website under the printer support links.
The steps below describe how to print a landscape, character mode report from a Windows NT PC on an HP 4100N Printer. The 4100N is a dual mode printer that can use either PCL or Postscript printer language.
1. Use a web browser to navigate to the HP website and obtain the printer escape codes for the HP 4100N. If you are unable to locate the HP4100N printer, look for generic PCL information. The HP site also includes detailed information on the printer command syntax.
2. The HP4100N printer command for landscape page orientation is "ESC&l1O" - where ESC indicates escape, '&' (ampersand) is the parameterized character, 'l'(lower case letter l) is the group character, '1' (number one) is the printer value character and 'O' (upper case letter O) is the termination character.
NOTE: The HP documentation uses "EC" to signify the escape character.
It also suggests pressing CTRL and the letter P together, then
releasing both keys and pressing the ESC key. If this is done in
a dos editor, a left arrow will actually be displayed on screen.
This character cannot be interpreted by Oracle Reports and will
cause printing errors if used in a .prt file. Instead, just use
the letters "ESC" to indicate that the code that follows is a printer
escape sequence.
3. Make a copy of the wide.prt file and rename it to "mywide.prt."
4. Add the page orientation escapes to mywide.prt file:
printer "mywide"
height 66
width 132
before report esc "&l1O" *** Puts Page in Landscape Orientation***
after page control(L)
after report esc "&l0O" *** Resets page orientation to Portrait ***
return control(M)
linefeed control(J)
SYNTAX NOTES: The escape sequence must be enclosed in double quotes ("). The above comments regarding page orientation are used to clarify where the escape codes gets added, but they should NOT be used when editing
the actual .prt file.
5. Save mywide.prt file to the $ORACLE_HOME\report60\printers\ directory.
6. Go to Windows PC -> Start -> Settings -> Printers and open the properties for the HP printer. Ensure that the option to "Always Spool Raw Data" is checked. This option is usually under the General Printer
Options, or Spool Options. On Windows NT, you must have Administrator privileges to change this setting.
7. Test running the report to the printer and specify desformat mywide. It is not necessary to include the file extension (.prt).
8. The report will now print in landscape orientation.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8610 Always Prints in Landscape (OSX)

When I print a picture from I photo on my HP 310 printer I select the fill picture which appears as a portrate then prints as landscape so I get the centre of the the original picture only. I have tried to fix but no luck what can I do?

When I try to print from I photo ie a A6 lanscape picture a page apears showing me how I want the picture on the selected paper and size ie "fill" I then press print and then a window apears showing how it will apear on the paper and it continously shows the paper as portrait and the picture I am trying to print appears in a lanscape form so that only the center of the picture is printed with two white areas apearing top and pottom. Why does the picture not print in the correct direction as the print page shows I selected landscape format. I hope you understand.
