The document, itself is fine and printed fine when sent previously to a network LPD style printer from an HP Tru64 server. We are migrating to a linux solution and while testing printing have come across this issue. A raw queue seems to be the way to go as the formatting and page layout is done from within the application. What I need to do is print the report in landscape, the printer's default is portrait. As you saying that I should send the printer command for landscape mode as part of my report?

Thanks
