>Yeah, there's an API function to do it (SetPrinter() with a PRINTER_INFO_2 structure), but I'd say it'd be easier to write a DLL to do it rather than trying in VFP. The problem is that the structure contains a pointer to a DEVMODE structure, as well as several strings. Given VFP's memory management, it might not be possible to do it in pure VFP code.

Do you know if anyone has created such a DLL or has code that can handle the printer orientation?

Thanks
