[Javascript] How to force printer to do landscape printing?

[S Thanigaivel]

Hi All,

When i use window.print(), by default printing is done in portrait orientation. I want to automatically change this orientation to landscape.
Can anyone give me the solution for this?

I am using IE. I took the following script function from internet.
But when executing this i am getting an exception saying
'Automation server cann't create object'. But the same is running properly in another system. What might be the problem?

 
<script type="text/javascript">
var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
 
function SetPrintProperties() {
  try {
    shell.SendKeys('%fu'); 
    window.setTimeout("javascript:shell.sendKeys('%a{ENTER}');", 1000);
    window.setTimeout("javascript:shell.SendKeys('%fv');", 1000);
  } catch (e) {
    alert ("An exception occured: " + e + "\nCode is: " + e.number + "\nDescription 
 
is: " + e.description);
    document.location.href="printhelp.htm";
  }
}
 

Thanks,
Thanigaivel S.

Maybe ActiveX is disabled on that computer.
