Landscape mode problem
E. Allen Siebold
when I choose the page size (<page setup> <page definition> <legal>), the
portrait/ landscape buttons gray out in the portrait mode. I can do it with
no problem with 8.5 x 11 (<letter>) size.
I have a HP 712C printer which handles 8.5 x 14 <legal> paper okay in
portrait mode.
I could use a hint or two....

report good luck with version 10.1, which also works with the 712.

On my setup I have Legal and US Legal. Are they both showing with
landscape greyed out?

I think you are trying to choose the normal "Legal" and say you want it
in Landscape; this would imply that your printer can feed paper that is
14" wide, which it can't.
You need to choose the *separate* Legal Landscape (or Legal - Wide)
paper type, which is portrait orientation but fonts rotated to
landscape. You can't feed Legal paper landscape, but you *can* use
landscape-oriented fonts on portrait-oriented paper.
Now if you don't have a Legal-Wide or Legal Landscape paper type, you
can either reset the paper types to the driver default, or create one.
Just remember that the page is in portrait, the fonts are rotated.

It took me a bit to get back to this, but I've downloaded a new print driver
from HP -- it is up to 10.3 for Win 98 -- and it not only solved my
landscape problem, but it now allows my printer on lpt3. I've had a constant
bother with my parallel port zip drive and my printer chained together. Now
they can be separate!!
Thank you for the direction.
