Default Rotating Output to Printer

usine Word 2003 and Dell Color Laser Jet 5110cn; when I define a custom paper
size and print out document (an A2 notecard) in the MPF tray, the output is
90 degrees off. it prints as if it is still trying to print on an 8.5x11
piece of paper. Is there a way to "rotate" the output of the document,
either before or after it goes to the printer. I know that there is a rotate
button on Publisher. Please help. thanks in advance.

Default Rotating Output to Printer

Most printer drivers are poor when it comes to setting custom paper sizes.
You may be able to define a custom paper size from Printers & Faxes File
Server Properties Forms or you could simply work on the basis that the
page size is 8.5 x 11 and set the page margins and orientation accordingly.
