Everything prints in landscape

Suddenly all my documents print in landscape mode. This is true for all programs and all printers (laser, inkjet). Clicking on portrait mode and/or landscape mode in 'page setup' has no effect. It looks fine in page preview mode
Any suggestions?
Thanks

What happens if you use Page Setup in TextEdit, set the orientation to Portrait and then use "Save as Default" in the Settings menu?
Also, is this printing directly (USB or network connected), or is there a server involved?

Cannot print to HP Printer in landscape

I have an HP Photosmart B110a configured via cups and hplip. Everything seems to work well - until I try and print in landscape. It always prints in portrait mode - regardless of what settings I change. I have tried printing using 3 different pieces of software - including the hp-toolbox that comes with hplip.
How can I get my printer to let me print in landscape?

I don't know about hp-toolbox, but if the other apps happen to be LibreOffice, then it could be the "Printer Language type" setting in File => Printer Settings => Properties => Device. Having it set to PDF can cause what you described. I (and some others here) had to change that to PostScript to print documents in landscape orientation.

HP officejet 4500 won't print in landscape.

I have many reports that I have to print for work and I cannot get the printer to print in landscape. I even go to page preview on my computer and it shows that it is in landscape, but when I go to print in prints only 1 column in portrait. What do I do? Please help! Thank you

I have this same printer and it will not print in landscape if it is selected for portrait unless i go into the control panel and change it like you suggested. When I change it to landscape it tries to print everything in landscape. It does not allow me to change when I click print then properties. Very annoying to have to do that every time i want to print a different layout.

Hp designjet 500 won't print in landscape in mavericks 10.9.1

Can't seem to get my hp design jet 500 to print in landscape for arch docs in 10.9.1? Any help? Have tried letting mac detect it and add to printers. Have tried downloading the driver from hp, still no luck. Ugh!

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.

Pages won't print in landscape?

I just upgraded to the latest version of Pages for iOS, and it seems I have lost the ability to print in landscape. Even if the document itself is in landscape orientation it still prints in portrait. In fact, documents that are in landscape orientation that printed just fine last week now print in portrait as well. Same documents, same printer, the only change is the Pages upgrade. Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks!

Works OK with New Pages on iPad Air, iOS 7.0.4. using a Canon MG3500 printer via WiFi.
Portrait page was printed as Portrait, Landscape as Landscape.
First time printing from iPad.
As there were no Landscape or Portrait settings within Pages I'd check the printer settings.
Selecting the printer from the recent printer list seems to be built in.. I only have one.

How do I make a page print in Landscape?

HP OfficeJet Pro 8610 Always Prints in Landscape (OSX)

My HP 8610 runs on a Mac OSX and I cannot figure out how to get it to print in a portrait format. It ALWAYS prints in landscape. I've looked through every setting, etc., has to be something easy. I tend to use the Firefox browser when printing.
Thanks!

How do I set my printer to print in landscape?

When I print what do I do to get it to print in landscape?

Thank you for your reply. However, I could not get Templates to work correctly for me. Following your instructions, I opened my document, opened Page Setup, set the printer, paper size, orientation, and printed a copy to make sure it was right. Then I re-opened Page Setup to verify that the settings were still correct. Then I saved the document as a Template. Then I found my template in Pages, opened the template, and tried to print. The first thing I noticed was that the template did not remember my printer. Then I set the printer, and printed, but I found that the template also did not remember the page size or the document orientation. So, did I miss a step here? Lion 10.7.5 and Mac Mini.

Iphoto won't let me print a landscape photo

iphoto won't let me print a landscape photo this is what it is doing when i go to print and it is driving me mad pleaseeee help

That means your original library is damaged and requires first aid. Do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Print Layout Difficulties - printing in landscape mode

Haven't upgraded to Pages 2 yet; in the meantime, here's a question related to Pages 1:
How does one properly print in landscape mode directly from Pages? I'm trying to print a simple CD booklet, but all I get when printing directly from Pages is my page printed at the bottom of the page. This happens even when I select one of the landscape orientations (and I've tried all of them) from the Print Layout before printing.
I'd simply change the page setup, but Pages gives me no way to rotate any of the objects once my once-horizontal document is now vertically oriented.
On the other hand, if I do a print preview and save as PDF, I am able to print in landscape orientation from Preview. Which is fine, but having to take the extra two or three steps is frustrating.
Thanks,
Kevin

Hullo Kevin:
I'm a bit surprised (and intrigued) by this. Seems to me you're starting off right, and the only suggestion I have to make (directly, that is) is to check whether you've used the available scaling options: i.e., if your landscape mode fills only half the page, will 200% make it fill the lot - or is the landscape orientation just refusing to rotate your content? From what you say, maybe it is, and you'll have found the way around it. But it seems pretty odd to me that you can print from preview as you want, but not from the original. Maybe somebody else can shed some light on this for you.
But the most constructive reason I have for replying to you is that I do recall a CD booklet template - which might save you a lot of trouble. I can't tell whether it will suit you; but very likely it might.
You'll find it on Gerry Straathof's pagesuser.com. It's called Monkey Business CD Booklet, for a CD that was released with it, and the content would seem pretty flexible within the template: it could like as not suit a very different look from the sample shown. Please notice the conditions that go with it, but I think I summarise them fairly in that it's mainly the content that is protected, rather than use of the template.
In any case the site is live - it has a forum just like this one; and by the way Gerry seems to know his way around Pages pretty well, so you might like to put your question more directly to his notice by posting it on his site.
So I've no real answer to your question - but I hope helps you to find one.
Best Wishes and Good Luck.

Cannot print in landscape mode?

Using Firefox 31.1.0 on CentOS 6
various HP Laserjet printers
Cant print in Landscape mode. Firefox is on the server and users connect to the server via LTSP thin clients and we prefer to use Firefox for this. One of our users needs to print in Landscape mode several times a day. We used to have Firefox 10 and this was not an issue.
Have tried multiple drivers from CUPS and none have let me print in Landscape. When printing in Landscape, it acutally prints out in Portrait mode but the right side of the page is cut-off. In terminal, as root, we went to system-config-printer, right click on printer, properties, and orientation is set to automatic rotation. When changing to landscape here, it prints in landscape but the top of the page is cutoff now, and that means that all the users connected to the server are going to print by default like this, because all using same CUPS.
I have centos 6 on my stand-alone desktop (not connected to desktop LTSP server) and Landscape printing does not work on Firefox either. It works on Chrome flawlessly, but we much prefer Firefox for work use.
Please help!

Win Elements 7 won't print in landscape orientation

O.K. my PSE 5 will print in landscape orientation along the length of roll paper with an Epson Stylus 7600, but no matter what combinations I use with PSE 7, and making sure that at all stages the landscape icons/buttons are selected, PSE 7 won't print in anything else than portrait orientation and the image on the print page shows that, as does the print preview if I go to print. What is the issue here? I have tried deleting and reinstalling PSE 7 and also deleting the printer preferences at start up but this has no effect on the problem. I can edit in PSE 7, save the file, then reopen and print with PSE 5 with no problem, but that is not the point. I am using Win XP with 2G of ram and as pointed out, it works fine with PSE 5 with all my photo files.

Are you sure tht settings used re same in PSE5 & PSE7... Are you using Organizer or Editor for Printing?

How to change margins when printing in landscape

Hi all,
I have a network printer installed on Solaris 6. To get it to print in "landscape" i added a filter - like this:
Input types: any
Output types: landscape
Printer types: any
Printers: any
Filter type: slow
Command: /etc/lp/landscape.sh
The script: landscape.sh:
echo "^[&l1O"
cat -
echo "^[&l0O"
When i print like this: lp -dprinter -olandscape filename it print�s in landscape. Problem is i can�t set up any margins.
Printer is configurated like this:
Banner: on:Always
Content types: landscape
Device: /dev/null
Interface: /etc/lp/test
Printer type: unknown
Modules:
Options:
I tried to modify it�s interface file, but that had no effect. Here are the line i tried to modify
# PC-850, 12 cpi, 12 pkt, normal Courier, 6 col. Left Marg., 2 lin. TopMarg.
echo '\033(0N\033(s0p12.00h12.00v0s0b3T\033&a6L\033&2E\c'
How can i change the margins ?
Thank u all
Thomas

It sounds like either the font is corrupted or your AddressBook prefs are whacked.
You can check the font in FontBook > File> Validate Fonts, or in /Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist move it to the desktop and restart.
