Report won't print in Landscape

CA Forum: General
Hello all,
I have a report that was created and published as a Landscape report. However when I go to print it from the Crystal Report ActiveX Viewer it wants to print it as Portrait. This problem seems to be intermittant. Sometimes and from some computers it will print correctly. Most of the time it wont. I went onto the Business Objects XI Enterprise Server and changed the Print Setup for the report to Custom Settings | Landscape | Letter, but it didn't help. Also, when it does print incorrectly I get this message:
Crystal Report Viewer
The report you are about to print is a pre-formatted image of the actual report data. Changing orientation or paper size may result in loss of objects on each printed page. Do you wish to continue?
Any ideas?

Just curious, when you say intermittent, do you mean on the same computer ? or that it runs on some computers but not on others ? (Might want to check graphics resolution on the target PC and see if mucking with that solves anything)

Report won't print to the end of width in Oracle E-Business Suite

Hello all,
I desperately need help to setup Reports 6i layout. I created a report for a 8.3 x 11.69" and it seems fine when I print directly from Reports Developer but when I register it in Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 it won't print to the end of page width. It always cut the print in about 3/4 of page width. I already setup the report as a text and pdf but still no success. Enlarge the width and height of the report won't help either. Anyone can suggest something to help? Thanks.

CRVS2010 Beta 2 - report does not print in Landscape mode correctly

I am using Crystal Reports Beta 2 for Visual Studio 2010 on Windows XP. I am trying to print a report in landscape mode. The WPF Crystal Report Viewer displays the report correctly in landscape view. When I print it, it moves all the data to the center of the page, prints it in smaller font and to the left and cuts off a lot of the data on the right hand side.
I have tried various different suggested solutions from reading other forums and nothing seems to work. Is this a known Crystal Report Viewer issue?
Solutions I have already tried:
1. Page setup under Crystal Reports - selected no printer (optimize for screen display)
2. Page setup under Crystal Reports - checked dissociate formatting page size and printer paper size
3. Setting paper orientation and page orientation at run-time to landscape.
4. Printing to different printers
Something to note, I can export this report as a .pdf file and it prints perfectly from adobe. This only seems to be an issue when printing directly from the WPF Crystal Report Viewer to the printer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have been stuck on this issue for a while...
Thanks!

Hi Sharon,
There have been issues with printing and printers in CR 2008 and the same routines are in CR 2010. The patches we have done to help with standard paper sizes in CR 2008 are not in the Beta releases.
Not sure if they will make it into the GA release next month. As a work around I suggest you continue exporting to PDF and then printing the PDF file until they have been resolved and patches are available.
Thank you

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?

The report is always printed in landscape

We have a VB6 application that uses CR 9 to print reports. When we launch reports to screen, and then to the printer, there is no problem and report orientation is as we design. But if we launch the report directly to a specific printer (Kyocera 250ci KX), the report is printed with landscape orientation. This error doesn't appear with the rest of applications.

When it is printed Landscape, is the page truncated on the bottom? In other words, is the data on the page expecting to be printed in Portrait mode, but is coming out landscape, or are page footers showing on the landscape page?
If the later, then I'm suspecting some setting in the application that is causing the landscape printing, as the page lengths are correct.
If the former, then I'd guess that there's something screwy with the printer itself. (Can you print anything on that printer in Portrait 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.

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.

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,

.pdf files naturally in landscape won't print to landscape.

Whether I set landscape as my choice before printing, or I select landscape mode via the printer settings, Adobe will not print the page to resemble the original page. It shrinks the page to profile size even though the paper is in landscape. I've tried every setting I can find. I even checked for an update to Adobe Reader, but I have the latest. Help! Please!

Yes. We noticed this problem after upgrading to 10.6.7. When we made a PDF from Word 2011 or even Text Edit through Adobe's "Save as Adobe PDF" it would hang. When we made a PDF using Apple's "Save as PDF" it would lock up Acrobat Pro 9 and also Acrobat Pro X. NOTE that this only happened using Adobe OTF fonts.
I posted this problem on Adobe's forum and received a message from admin there that this was caused by a change in font handling with Apple's 10.6.7 update.
As of yet, no solution has been posted. I also received a message from Adobe's Tech Support that it was forwarded to their engineers.
Still waiting.

My Photosmart C309g won't print in landscape mode

Even after designating landscape orientation the preview shows portrait. My OS is Win XP . Before my computer crashed, the program would select the orientation automatically. After repairs, when the program did not work, I uninstalled the driver and reinstalled off the HP website. Diagnostics says everything is O.K. but it isn't. I am also receiving an "out of memory" message. Help!

Try to not print directly, but enter the print dialog once, set yor settings and then hit the Done button. When you re-enter the dialog again, al lthe settings should stick and acvtualyl be used. that's a known issue with some printer drivers in CS5.

Cannot print Landscape report to PCL printer - Solved

Has anyone been able to print a landscape BIP PDF to a PCL printer?
I am on EBS 11.5.10.2, with BIP 5.6.3, and PASTA 3.0.4.
The first report template I tried creating (Discrete Job Pick List Report) in XML Publisher / BIP happens to have a landscape layout, 11 inches wide by 8.5 inches high.
The report is created successfully as a PDF, but I can't get that PDF to print successfully on my PCL printers - the output is truncated on the right. It looks like it is trying to print the landscape report on portrait paper.
Not sure if that makes sense. It is not rotating the report contents to fit on the paper.
I configured PASTA as instructed in MetaLink:
Note 338990.1 - How To Print XML Publisher PDF Reports Via The Concurrent Manager,
Note 356501.1 - How to Setup Pasta Quickly and Effectively, and
Note 365111.1 - How to Setup Pasta for PCL Base Printers
I submitted a TAR/SR on this and they referred me to
Note 421358.1 - Custom Landscape Reports In PDF Format Print in Portrain Orientation
And basically told me what I was trying to do was not normal, and that I should get a PostScript printer. That's not an option, since all of our printers do PCL, but not all of them do PS.
Has anyone been able to achieve this?
Thanks,
Steve

(changed original subject to add 'Solved')

The SR conversation on this topic ended with "EBS does not have any seeded code or driver that can covert a PDF file to PCL, however. If such a third party tools exists, it can be placed (called) within the preprocessing section of the pasta_pdf.cfg configuration file." The documentation recommends "acroread", but I think this is an obsolete utility, plus it doesn't do PCL.
I could not find a third party tool to convert to PCL in the preprocess section of PASTA, while doing landscape, but I did find a third party tool that can replace the "ntPrintCommand" part of PASTA. It is called "GSPRINT", and it is part of GSview. I am on a Windows platform, so this is perfect for me, since it works with the Windows printer drivers at a bitmap level, and no PCL or PostScript conversion or preprocessing is necessary on my part. It takes the PDF as input directly, and prints it.
Here is the essence of my pasta.cfg file now (named pasta_gsprint_landscape.cfg)
outputFormat=text
ntPrintCommand=c:\utils\gs\gsview\gsprint.exe -printer "{printername}" -landscapeThe outputFormat=text so that PASTA will not do anything except preprocess and print. I took out the preprocess, so all it does is print using gsprint.
Since this makes pasta pretty much just overhead, I'm going to look into the option of running gsprint directly and taking pasta out of the loop completely.

Dim Frm1 As New Form1     Dim RV As New CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer     CR.SetDataSource(PrintDatabase1.Tables(0))     RV.DisplayGroupTree = False     RV.DisplayToolbar = True     Frm1.Controls.Add(RV)     Frm1.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized     RV.Dock = DockStyle.Fill     RV.ReportSource = CR     Frm1.Show() When print the Document , the printer print in Portrait Orientation mode . why I donu2019t know second : same situation but I add this code   Code:
CR.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape When print the Document , the printer print in Portrait Orientation mode . why I donu2019t know thired :   Code:
CR.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape CR.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape
Again When print the Document , the printer print in Portrait Orientation mode . why I donu2019t know
Now after I changed the defaults setting for the Epson printer to Orintation = Landscape Paper size = Legal And used this code Code: SetDataSource(PrintDatabase1.Tables(0))       CR.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape       CR.PrintOptions.PaperSize = PaperSize.PaperLegal CR.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.DefaultPaperSize = PaperSize.DefaultPaperSize.PaperLegal The printer print in Landscape mode but it not printing the data which located in the right side of paper While that I checked the properties of printer from printer button in the crystal report viewer I found the orientation = Portrait I think its mean the program print the document by coding as landscape but printer receive it and print it as portrait because that it is not shown the right side of paper

Problem sending a standard landscape SSRS report to a printer

I have successfully used the Printer Delivery Extension sample (_//msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252091(v=vs.100).aspx) in a vb.net winforms application to send a 28” X 17” rdlc report to a specialty printer.
However, I cannot seem to successfully send an 8.5” X 11” landscape report (rdlc) directly to a printer without preview or printdialog using the same approach.
I have tried setting the paper size to “custom” in Report Properties in the report design (this automatically reverts to “Letter” due to the dimensions). I also tried reversing the width/height dimensions in the report design and in the “PageWidth”
and “PageHeight” settings in the <DeviceInfo> configuration info for the output emf file. I have tried various combinations of PrintDocument settings (including setting DefaultPageSettings.Landscape=true), with no success. I also tried setting
the DefaultPageSetting pages size to one I created programmatically with the correct dimensions (1100/850). Even though it is defined as a landscape report, I get either a report broken over 2 portrait pages, or a report squeezed into a smaller area on a single
portrait page.
I don’t know if there is a device setting that would “tell” the emf file that this is a landscape report, but it’s almost like that information is not being passed, despite of all the settings I have experimented with.
Does anybody have any suggestions? I have researched this online and tried every suggestion I have read. According to other posts, some others had been unable to get this to work also.
UPDATE: This problem is still unresolved. The report now prints in landscape mode, but the intended 10"X9" report is being compressed into an area 8.5" wide. This is an excerpt of the code I am using:
    Friend Sub Run(ByRef report As LocalReport, printerName As String)
        Export(report)
        Print(printerName)
    End Sub
    Private Sub Export(ByVal report As LocalReport)

When stepping through the code in PrintListPage using debug, ev.PageSettings.Papersize shows a width and height of 1100 and 850, and ev.PageSettings.Landscape is set to True. However, the rectangle shows a size corresponding to 8.5 X 11. In
Dim adjustedRect As New Rectangle(ev.PageBounds.Left - CInt(ev.PageSettings.HardMarginX), _
ev.PageBounds.Top - CInt(ev.PageSettings.HardMarginY), _
ev.PageBounds.Width, ev.PageBounds.Height)
I have tried swapping ev.PageBounds.Width and ev.PageBounds.Height, and actually hard coding numeric values for width and height, and the rectangle still appears to be dimensioned as portrait. Does anybody see what I am doing wrong, and how to fix
this?

With active debug i got following information:
The first mail in the debug-log is with the source code as quoted in my first post, the second mail is when i cut out the part which generates and adds the attachement. I had to make the adresses anonymous, but the second mail contains a lot more adresses then the first, although they both use the same query with same parameters, etc.
Have i done something wrong with the attachements? Overwriting headers, syntax errors, anything? I'm out of ideas...
edit: Had to cut out the debug-log because it is too big. It just said that everything was working ok, but the first mail contains too few adresses and the second (without attachement) the correct number of adresses. I can mail the log, if you like.
