Will not print in landscape

[Richard Corso]

I just installed a Lexmark printer and now I can not print my Filemaker reports in landscape(This same database print just fine on other printers). Any suggestions.

How are you printing? File>Print or scripted? Are you showing Page Setup or restoring? Is this file hosted? Please provide more info.

I am printing from a script that works with three other printers. I did print from file and it printed with the exception of the margin being of a bit. It is not hosted, just on one machine used by one person.

Are you changing the Page Setup (Print Setup? Seems like you should. Therefore, one script would not work, as this printer may require a different page setup.

I've just solved a problem with exactly your symptoms (not being able to print landscape to a lexmark printer - and a brother printer, too).

Here's what I did:

1. Deleted all print setup and print script steps from my scripts (keep note of all instances for later)

2. Closed the database

3. Chose 'Recover' and selected my database file

4. When presented with the save dialog, eg. "myfile Recovered", check "Use Advanced Options" at bottom and click "Specify..."

5. Choose "Copy file blocks as-is"

6. Uncheck all checkboxes except "Delete cached settings"

7. Click OK

8. Open the "Recovered" database file

9. Using the Lexmark printer as the default printer, record all the Print Setup and Print script steps again.

10. Test landscape printing on all your printers.

Hope that helps!
