How can I print form using Landscape format?

[kevin shen]

I found printform function can only print form using portrait format. How can i print form using Landscape format?

I couldn't find more documents for VB print, can anyone give me some good suggestion?

Thank you!

did you try

Printer.Orientation = vbPRORLandscape

before Printform?

I tried to set center the printed form on the page and use zoom property, but can not work. I don't know why.

Printer.ScaleLeft = -((Printer.Width - FrmTestGraph.Width) / 2)
Printer.ScaleTop = -((Printer.Height - FrmTestGraph.Height) / 2)

Printer.Zoom=50

The Zoom property is not guaranteed to work on all printers. It works on most laser printers, but not on many inkjet printers.

I tried this code printer.orientation = vbPRORLandscape for printing the form in landscape using command button on the form. But if I click the print command second time it gives me the error "can't print form image to this type of printer". I also tried setting it to vbPRORPortait after printing but gives the same error.
can somebody please help to resolve this problem
