Stuck on landscape printing...

Hi - I'm a relative newcomer to Mac (but a very happy one) - for some reason I'm defaulting to landscape printing for all of my printers and can't find where to change it - can anyone help please

you could try this. bring up the print dialouge box by printing something but don't click print. you will see option in the drop down menus for landscape in there. Set your preferred choice and in tghe presets drop down menu, save. that may do it. other wise you could go a bit deeper and delete all printing prefs and re-setup your printers

Iphoto stuck on landscape when printing

When I want to print from iphoto the orientation of the paper is stuck on landscape. This means if I am printing a contact sheet or any of the presets including the custom options I only print the bottom half of the page. It is not the printer as this prints fine with all my other software- indesign, adobe pdfs and vectorworks etc.
It is not the presets on the printer as this is all set up fine - portriat/ one page/ etc
What is the problem?

It could be a preference file other than iPhoto's that is interfering with the printing process. Here's method to determine if that's the case:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
1 - close all applications.
2 - open your Home/Library folder and Option-drag (copy) the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
3 - select the contents of your Home/Library/Preferences folder and drag them into the Trash bin in the Dock. You will be asked to provide your Admin password.
4 - reboot. Be sure to know your account's username and password as you will be asked to log in with it.
5 - run the application again and determine if the problem(s) is fixed.
6 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
B - Open the Preferences folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace or Skip button.
D - reboot.
7 - If the problem is NOT fixed, drag the contents of the Preference folder on the Desktop into the Home/Library/Preference folder and replace the entire contents that were created by clicking on Replace.
8 - reboot and you're back as square one.
Note: keep the Preference folder on the desktop until you're sure all registration info for your apps are working. If not you can copy the required files from the desktop pref folder to the working one.

Try switching it back from landscape to vertical. Or, go to settings and see if you have any special setting turned on that enable only landscape view. Also, try hooking it up to your computer and charging it to see what happens.

IPhone 4 stuck in landscape mode

For the last couple of days my iPhone has been stuck in landscape mode. No matter what I do it will not switch out of landscape. I've tried shutting it off, closing apps and even restored my phone but whenever I go into an app it automatically switches to landscape.
Anyone else have this problem????
Thanks

Double click the home button scroll over to the audio controlls there is a button on the left that looks like a reload button that locks the orientation

IPhone 4 stuck in landscape mode after iOS 6 upgrade

I used to have a fully operational iPhone 4 until yesterday, when I upgraded to iOS 6.
Many apps including Mail, Safari, Contacts, Calendar and several third-party apps have been stuck in landscape mode since then.
I have tried to:
- reset
- restore from back-up
- restore to factory settings,
without success.
At the end of the day, I am not even sure whether this problem relates to iOS 6 or if it is just a coincidence. Anyway, the only workaround I found is to lock autorotate in portrait mode, which is not acceptable in the long run.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Pb solved!
Yesterday, my iPhone ran out of battery and powered off automatically. When I restarted it after a full battery load cycle, the iPhone was able to autorotate again.
So far, so good
Hope it helps someone else.

Iphone 6 plus stuck in landscape mode rotation failure

Hi
My iPhone 6 plus keeps getting stuck in landscape mode even though rotation is not locked. Is this a bug, is there a fix?
Thanks

Hi Sunnifromlondon,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone screen is not rotating as expected, there could be several potential causes. First, we can attempt some troubleshooting steps that may resolve the issue.

Iphone 6 gets stuck in landscape mode

Hello
iphone 6 or possibly the ios update has some bugs. For instance, it gets stuck in landscape mode even though the screen rotation is not locked.
In addition, safari does not react quickly when trying to access the menu to close a page or add a new one. It takes several attempts and after uing the home button several times, the menu finally appears.
Please advise

This is happening to me too. Some posts indicates that it is more likely to happen in zoom mode and switching to standard mode fixes it, but my phone has always been in standard mode. I am having this problem with an iPhone 6 128 GB phone with iOS 8.1. I hope this is only a software problem and not a hardware problem.

IPhone 6 getting stuck in landscape mode

My iPhone 6 keeps getting stuck in landscape mode. Also the camera will not always open from the locked screen, it just bounces up and down but does not slide all the way up to launch the camera app. Is apple working on a fix?

My ipad is stuck in landscape mode, can I disable accelerometer and manually rotate?

My iPad is just over 1 year old and has been treated well, but unfortunately it is now stuck in landscape mode. We went to the Genius Bar today and after testing it they said it is a problem with the accelerometer and not fixable, only replaceable. Unfortunately, we bought it in the UK and are just out of warranty, and are now in Australia (apparently if we bought it here we'd be covered for around 2 years under their consumer laws). This means we are now stuck with a fairly new but broken product, which is a shame because we are both still using our iPhone 3GS phones from about 5 years ago with no problems!
Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the accelerometer and manually switch between portrait and landscape?

I had the same problem with my iPad Air that was brand new. After about 30 minutes on the phone with Apple Support (who are always so nice)it still wasn't resolved. We had come to the point where the last solution would have been to revert it to factory settings or send it back. Luckily I had to download the latest version of iTunes, and scheduled a call back. I have a Smart Cover for my iPad and began to wonder if the magnet had somehow caused the gyroscope to jam (since it does snap on back directly where the gyroscope is located). While running the Gyroscope app I took the corner where it snaps and ran it along the edge where the power and volume rockers are, and wellah!!! The gyroscope immediately responded and was back to working perfectly. Won't be using my Smart Cover anymore though.

Samsung stratosphere keeps getting stuck in landscape mode?

All of a sudden a couple of days ago my phone started getting stuck in landscape mode, even when the auto rotation was off. I didn't mess with any of the settings to make this happen but sometimes I have to turn the screen on and off a couple of times before it goes back to regular mode. I even factory reset the phone today, but it is still going on.

Hmm it would do that too, but I actually just realized what the problem was when
I took the snap on case off. Apparently when I slide the keyboard down the
bottom part of the screen goes beyond the part where it's supposed to stop. I'm
guessing that caused some kind of censor to not work properly. But thanks for
the help.

Landscape print

Hi,
We have a requirement to print information in a table manner which requires us to do Landscape prints (as portrait will not hold the information with correct alignment)
We are using default Arial font and just updated the "Orientation" to say "Lanscape" for all relevant sections for the print. We are able to generate the PDF correctly, also when I try generate a metacode file using BARR2VB utility (with printtype XER) it generates fine. But when I view it though Print Analyzer the PMODE still says "Portrait" and the Display at right hand side in the analyzer window also does not look right.
Please suggest If I need any specific setup to get desired Landscape output ?

You should be able to use the F2CON8 (Courier 8 point landscape) font. Are you using one of the old base FXR files that used to contain this font (font ID 12008) or did you add it yourself to your FXR file? In the Metacode font properties, you should see FXCON8 as the 0 degrees font, F9CON8 as the 90 degrees font, F1CON8 as the 180 degrees font, and F2CON8 as the 270 degrees font.
As far as loading fonts on the printer, it would depend on the printer and whether the printer is attached to a network or to a mainframe.
If you have an older model Xerox printer or one that is attached to a mainframe, you may be able to use the XERDNLD utility. It can be used to convert Xerox fonts into a quasi - print stream that when "printed" will download the font onto the printer. You would need to use the same Xerox printer INI settings that you would normally use when producing metacode output to be printed.
If you have a fairly modern printer, it may have a network attached server that runs the printer and holds the Xerox resource files including fonts. If so, then you should be able to use an FTP connection to load the fonts onto the server. You would need to check with Xerox for the location where the Xerox fonts are stored but it might be in a directory like
/opt/XRXnps/resources/lcds/
or
/var/spool/XRXnps/resources/lcds/
Make sure that the font filename (including the .FNT extension) is upper case and note that the directory names are mixed case.
Xerox should be able to provide you with specific information about loading Xerox fonts onto your printer.

Need Landscape printing in Mac OS X

I see from the release notes for 5.2.3 that landscape printing is not currently working. Any idea when this will work again?

Check if the Dell driver is PPC. If it is, and if you installed the first version of Apple's latest Security Update, then that's probably where the issue is, because it broke Rosetta, the software which runs PPC code under SL. Re-install the Sec Update (the problem is fixed in v1.1, which replaced the goofy version on Apple's servers) through Software Update or by downloading it again, then re-install the Dell driver, and try again.
Apple stuff is great, except for their casual disregard of their customers who want to use any product that is not Apple
I'm sorry, but that's non-sense. I'm no fan of Apple, but they're no better and no worse than any large corporation of this type. Mostly, they do things which make business sense as they see it -- which is exactly what you'd want, if you had serious money invested in Apple shares -- wouldn't you?
In this instance, it was up to Dell to release an Intel Mac driver for this printer/scanner, which is, what, 5 or 6 years old? If they didn't, it was probably because they decided it didn't make business sense for them to spend money on developing and testing one. Keep in mind that Dell and Apple and Microsoft and all the rest are in business to make money, not to support every single customer for ever and ever and a day.

Stuck in landscape then portrait mode...

After attempting to watch a video, the iPad stayed stuck in landscape mode. None of the following helped: turning on & off, attempting to sync, shaking it around, using different apps. I finally did a Reset All Settings and it put the device back in portrait mode but now stuck there. Since all else has failed, I am about to do a Restore.

Make sure the Screen Rotation Lock button on the side isn't locked.

Hp C310 e all in one. Print that is stuck in the print queue, cancel does not remove

hp C310 e all in one. I have a print that is stuck in the print queue, cancel does not remove says deleting. I have tried shutting down printer, closing word doc, multiple canel all prints. Any Ideas

Hello mackice,
Try these steps below to clear the print queue. The steps are listed for Vista and Windows 7 and would be slightly different for XP. If you are using a Mac then the steps below would not work. Please advise what OS you are using.
Option 1)
1. Click on start orb
2. Type in search window: "services.msc" (without the quotes)
3. click ok
4. Scroll down to Printer spooler service and click on it in the right side window.
5. On the left side click stop the service and wait forthe process to stop
(Do not close the window yet. You will have to restart it here later.)
6. next delete the print job in the printer queue
7. then restart the spooler service
8. Resubmit your new print job.
Option 2)
If that doesn't clear it, the next step would be to stop the spooler
service as stated above
Go into windows explorer
(Print job data is collected and stored in a spool file in the spooler
folder.)
It is located in:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS
Your print job will show 2 files there Example below:
00002.SHD
00002.SPL
Delete the files located in there. There may be several of them
depending apon how many print jobs you submitted. You will have to
resubmit your print jobs all over again.
Next go back to services window and restart the spooler service
