SetJob Printer API not working

[pradip_mondal]

Hi,
My objective is to send across ASCII text(data picked up from a file) to the Printer in Landscape Mode.
For that i an using the Printing and Print Spooler Functions.
OpenPrinter()
StartDocPrinter()
StartPagePrinter()
GetJob()
SetJob()
WritePrinter()
EndPagePrinter()
EndDocPrinter()
ClosePrinter()

I need to set the PrintJob Orientation using the standard Printing and Print Spooler functions.
I have used the following code.
None of the windows function returns any error code, i.e. SetJob successds. But after that when i retrieve the Job Details using GetJob function, it retrieves the Orientation value as DMORIENT_PORTRAIT.

If anybody has any other suggestions, i mean any other way i can send ASCII data from a file to a printer in Landscape mode is welcome.

Thanks and Regards,
Pradip.
