2156.0. "PS print style, print setting Landscape, does not work" by BACHUS::BHP64::Verbraeken (Luctor et Emergo) Tue Jan 26 1993 17:55

ALL-IN-1 3.0

when printing on a postscript queue
with Print Style = PS

and using the Gold E to change the print settings,
on page 3 there is a page orientation field.
When selecting the 'LANDSCAPE' option the
document is still printed in portrait mode.


My guess is that ALL-IN-1 3.0 tries to set the orientation
using the DECprint param=page_orient=landscape parameter.
But forgot that the created postscript file has portrait orientation
set which overrules the Param qualifier.

If thats right, 2 things can be done.
Get the orientation option out of the print settings screen cause its useless
or
Adapt the posctscript file which is sent to printer so that it takes the correct
orientation settings.

Can someone comment/correct me on this before I spr this ?

2156.1It's CPS limitationIOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2Tue Jan 26 1993 18:2313
The CPS page orientation parameter is ignored for PostScript files, so it
is useless to create a job with such a parameter.  However, the parameter
is accepted for ANSI files, so it is useful to have this on the screen for
those times it is accepted.

The ALL-IN-1 System Manager could edit the PS printer type and set the Page
Orientation changeable field to 'N'.  Then, when the PS print style is used
and a user does a Gold E they will not be able to enter the 'Page
orientation' field.
