I setup my printer to print Landscape by default.

So in Word it prints to Landscape if I select that specific printer.

In Internet Explorer under "Printer Properties" it is set to Landscape (as
the printer is setup to print to landscape), but if I click on "Properties"
it says it Portrait and when I print, it prints as Portrait.

Is there a way to make IE Default to Landscape, or even why am I having this
problem?

Hi Mitch,

You can print directly to the default printer by pressing the Print button
on the Command Bar. It will use the paper orientation setting for your
default printer.

This is different from the File>Print menu which will prompt you to select a
printer and from where you can choose the printer Properties button to
choose the paper orientation of your chosen printer.

Why are you having this problem? You are not the only one...It is not
obvious is it? (different programmers wrote Office and IE). TG though IE
does not have Office Ribbon toolbars.

Regards.
