Printer Defaults

[Joe Keller]

Is there a way that I can set the default printers paper orientation. I dont want to include it in a specific print routine. I just want the program to automatically set the orientation of the printer to landscape when the program starts and reset it back to the way it was before when the program ends.
Thanks
Joe

'that will return True or False but won't change the orientation
Print Printer.Orientation = vbPRORPortrait
Print Printer.Orientation=vbPRORLandscape

'that will change the orientation


Printer.Orientation = vbPRORPortrait
Printer.Orientation = vbPRORLandscape

This only works for the current printer object.
For example

Printer.Orientation = vbPRORLandscape
Printer.Print "This is landscape orientation"
Printer.EndDoc

This works fine and the page is printed landscape.
However if I go out to my system settings and check the default printer settings it is still set at portrait orientation.
