Hi All,
I am having problems with printing reports in landscape using HP 1500 series printer.Their versions of PROIV had a build in print manager that had this option,if I remember correctly.
I have seen companies sending printing rules to the printer within proiv logic.Some companies have a cool print manager proiv suite.I am looking for a printing rule that sets the printout to print in landscape.I am using PROIV on windows with HP 1500 series attached.

Hi Mathews,
For Windows printing you canembed printer escape sequence codes into your print job to do such things asprint landscape, etc. We have a more elaborate system to do this but a quickand dirty method is:
1. Create a global report functioncalled GR_PESC that prints a scratch variable. Set the scratch to $S = CHAR(27)+ CHAR(38) + CHAR(108) + CHAR(49) + CHAR(79) before you print it. These are theescape sequences to print landscape. Make sure the spooler options are set to“Group Output”.
2. In “logic in” of your main reportfunction do a GLOBAL_LSCALL(GR_PESC). Make sure “Group Output” is on for thereport as well.

Hi Ross,
Thank you very much for your help,I will test the logic.I am not sure about the 'GRP_OPTION' setting,is this on the printer settings options or is it a proiv thing?(I will check it out tomorrow).

Hi Matthews,
The Group Output is in the report function Spooler tab; just double click the function name. Group Output is available (displayed) when the Output Type set to "Physical Device".
