Cannot Print Office Docs in Landscape

No, the driver is not set to default to landscape but
should it be? I mean, by that logic, everytime I want
something to print to landscape I'll have to go into the
printers preferences and change it? That doesn't seem
right.

No, it's not the way it's supposed to be, but it can happen with some
combinations of programs/windows versions and drivers that setting the
orientation or other printer features from within the app just doesn't "stick".

Newer drivers may fix that. It's worth having a look on the printer
manufacturer's site. In the meanwhile, if setting printer default to
landscape works, then, you've at least got a workaround.

With some drivers you can install multiple instances of the same printer, set
one up for Landscape, the other for Portrait and name them accordingly. Then
at print time you pick e.g. InkSchpritzer2000_Landscape



First, are these locally installed printer drivers or are
they on a network?
The drivers, that is, not the printers themselves.

Next, did you set up the driver to default to landscape
outside of PowerPoint?

In other words:
Start, Settings, Printers
Pick your printer
When its dialog box comes up, choose Printers, Printing
Preferences
Pick Landscape then click Apply

You might need to do that with some drivers instead of
setting the printer to
landscape from within PowerPoint.
