Printing reports in portrait instead of landscape

Hi,
We've got some reports written in Crystal Reports XI - implemented on a specific 'Crystal Reports server' and users run these reports using InfoView.
99% of the time...the reports print fine, but occasionally a report that has been designed to print in landscape mode starts printing in portrait and the only way to get it to go back to printing in landscape is to reboot the server. (We've tried doing things like checking the printer drivers haven't changed; print to a file rather than a printer; print to a different printer; get the user to log off and back on; get another user to try and print the report etc. - but this doesn't work).
We've also checked the server for issues to do with memory and disk space...they seem fine (the machine has three hard drives with 1 GB, 20 GB and 80 GB of space free).
Help! Has anyone else experienced this problem? What is causing the issue? I don't really want to have to reboot the server each time this problem occurs...
Regards,
Mark

Hello Mark,
I recommend to post this query to the [BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration|BI Platform; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to administration and configuration of BusinessObjects Enterprise, BusinessObjects Edge, and Crystal Reports Server.
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all BOE Administration queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Best regards,

PDF Report prints Portrait Instead of Landscape

Hi,
We've created several PDF reports - some that print portrait and some landscape. For the portrait reports, they print fine both from Adobe Acrobat and directly from Oracle to the printer.
When we try to print a Landscape report, it prints as Landscape from Acrobat, but portrait from Oracle. We followed note 421358.1 on Metalink on how to set up a new .cfg file , print style, and print driver for printing landscape reports, but now it's not printing at all when we assign the style to the report. We tried removing -pairs and -shrink from the cfg file (Oracle analyst suggetsion) and it's still not printing.
Has anyone else had this much trouble trying to set up Landscape printing? We're using the acroread tool.
Thanks,
Suzanne

If you've bounced your concurrent manager, double checked your command string and it still doesn't print right, what O/S do you have and what version of acroread do you have? There's a known bug in Adobe 7 on HP-UX where landscape reports will generate in landscape correctly(i.e. copies=0) but when sent directly to a printer, they come out portrait. It happened to us on our system.
I tried -shrink and -landscape but it didn't work. Our user decided to just generate them and print them elsewhere.

Document improperly printing in Portrait instead of Landscape via Remote Desktop

When attempting to print a document in Landscape orientation, it always comes out in Portrait.
Using Remote Desktop Services via Windows Server 2008 R2 with all Windows Updates.
Local client - Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit with all Windows Updates.
This does not happen using another printer (Dell) - so I'm leaning towards it being an HP issue.
Page orientation is set to Landscape in Word (for example)
When going to print -- it's showing that it's set to landscape.

So the issue with the 8000 printer is periodic print jobs do not come out as you are wanting them. Is that right? This is interesting, just from the point of view that generally speaking issues like this are like a light switch, they are either there or they are not - they usually don't come and go. That being said, we are going to see what we can do to resolve this. First I am going to recommend that we perform a clean installation of the printer after uninstalling it from the machine. By the way, what is the operating system you are working with - Is it Windows 2000 Network?
First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it. Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer.
In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.
Then follow this link to download the full feature software and drivers for the printer:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3762364
Install that and let me know the result!
Have a great day!

Firefox displaying page in portrait instead of landscape

I have a problem with web pages created using Microsoft Reporting Services to display query results. I'm not the developer for these pages, but I am a software developer so technical replies are welcome.
Pages that display correctly in IE 7 (and earlier versions) are not displaying correctly in Firefox 4.0 It appears as though the landscape format intended for display is being shown in portrait layout.
The FF display also uses the wrong font for the titles down the left side. It's using the correct font in all other areas of the output. The IE display has the correct font.
I can't provide the URL because it's an internal, secured site, but I have example images of the same page as displayed in IE and FF.
Any feedback is welcome.
Thanks.

Here are the images I referred to in my initial post. IE display is on the left, FF on the right. Data in the images has been obliterated for security reasons.

Print Month in Portrait ..Not Landscape!!

Any updates on this without a million work-arounds.
Has Apple allowed us to print our weekly/month views the normal (portrait) way yet?

Frustrating isn't it!
The only way I have been able to do it is by transferring my iCal to Entourage and printing from there!
Almost embarrassing to have to do that.
I guess we can only hope for the next update to fix this seemingly simple problem.

HT5012 What causes an IPAD 2 to orient to portrait instead of landscape inside apps?

What causes an IPAD 2 to not change to landscape orientation in apps? Is it broken or is there a setting not set correctly?

As said before, some apps must be run in a specific orientation, however, there is a setting to lock it in one or the other orientation. Getting to this setting can be achieved by several different ways depending on system model. The new IOS 7 has a menu that can be dragged upward from the bottom of the screen. The icon with the lock is your target.

DYMO printing in portrait instead landscape

Our DYMO Twin Turbo Labelwriter is printing in portrait instead of landscape when I print from Address Book, so the text is across the short length of the label and very small.
I've installed the latest driver (7.7.1) and reset the printing system to no avail. Any ideas?

I have spoken to DYMOs software engineers and they reproduced the problem. This has been an issue in address book since about 10.2 or 10.3. I submitted a report to apple but have not received word if it will be fixed.
The best solution I have found is to use SOHO address label software from macupdate.com which is much better than DYMOs crummy software IMHO. I think you are the only other person that has noticed this bug. It seems to only occur in printing address labels directly from Address Book.

Printing problems, black mark appears on document when printing using auto portrait/landscape

As the title says, pdf is fine on screen but when printing using auto portrait/landscape a black mark appears on the screen as in the photos below
when the orientation is selected the line disapears and the print works correctly
Anyone have any idea why this would happen?
Thanks
Ben

Hello Pelle,
Thanks for the feedback. Our printing code in Adobe Reader Touch doesn't have that capability right now, but since you mention it we should probably do what you're requesting by default. I'll put that into our backlog for a future update, but I can't say yet when it will be available.
In the interim, if you have pages that are different orientations, you can print them in blocks manually to get what you want, but I understand that's a hassle.

Print Report Output in PDF Format

:-) Hiee E'body
I generated the output of a Report(developed in Report Builder 6i) in PDF format.
The output file is created properly and the PDF file gets displayed on the screen in proper format but when i try to print the PDF file it gets printed across the page instead of printing
it straight.
I have checked all page and printer settings but cannot find the reason for this.
If anybody is aware of the solution to this problem please guide me for the same.
Have a nice day !!
Thanking You ..

hello,
sounds like you have a problem with portrait/landscape orientation of your document.

Report output page setup as Landscape

Hi Gurus,
I have a batchjob created for a Report. Now the client wants that report output page setup as Landscape.i have defined printers in the output settings. Please advice on how to do it.
Thanks for your help in advance.
regards,
Saakithyan

Smartforms
   Select the Page and in the right hand side, you will have a tab output options. In that you will have the page format Portrait or Landscape.
Smart scripts
You can find the Portrait or Landscape in the Orientation of the Basic settings option.
Report
   (probably you might not have authorization for all the below - contact basis)
   Step1 : Go to the transaction SPAD, then on the menu - configuration -> Device types -> Page Formats.
   Step2 : Create a Page Format, if you want a new one or change the one which you already have. Then in the orientation, select Portrait or Landscape.
   Step3 : Go to SPAD, Enter the printer you are using in SAP in output devices. Go to the Tray info in the last tab and select the Page Format you created above and save it.
Then print using this printer will print in Landscape or Portrait in the way you selected.

Print Report Error

Hi,
When I try to print a standart landscape report, Print Report.vi gives error (error -41002 NI-Reports: Invalid printer Name)
