i'm assuming this is in asp.net since its in this forum, then you are trying to have the browser print landscape. there is a attribute in the style sheet of the print media type, but from my experience, most browsers dont support it yet.

<style type="text/css">
    @media print {
         screen: landscape;
    }
</style>

Derek, that is what i suggested, but I have found that most browsers including the latest IE does not support that. I know other ppl have had the same experience, wondering what are everybody else's results with that?

Nothing works correctly in Internet Explorer... what's your point? ;)

 

I simply noted that style for reference, since you mentioned it above.
