I have a grid report that I built using the Report Builder. The report needs to print in landscape mode (11 x 8.5). When I print the report, it automatically prints in portrait mode. The question that I have is how do I set the report to print in landscape mode automatically so the user does not have to remember to set the printer?

Using CCS 3.0.2.2, ASP

Landscape printing must be set by user (in the print prompt) as current browsers do not support programmatic control. See the size property in the following link:

There are probably Active X controls that will do it but who wants (or lets in an enterprise env) to use ActiveX controls?

You could also look into converting your report to PDF. This would give you the control to change the print mode (landscape or portrait). Just my two cents...
