If you design a landscape report and attempt to print it on a printer where the paper is set to portrait, then you get the following message displayed;
Current printer paper size is different than the report's paper size. Do you want to scale the content to fit?
It does make some sens that this message is displayed but it does confuse users who's response is always going to be 'well, I don't have this problem with Word...'.
Is there some way we can override this message appearing and just automatically select the option to override the printer paper size?
If this is not currently possible could I please request that it be included in a future release?
Many thanks.

Hello All,
A discussion about the overriding paper orientation is currently being discussed on another thread of ours, click here.Our Infragistics team is currently investigating this and looking for a way to possibly provide an option hide the Print Report message or alternate solution.
If you have any questions please let me know.
Hi,
I am having this same problem. reports are configured Letter size, Landscape. submission based on binding.
<ig:XamReportViewer x:Name="ReportViewerUC" Background="#FFC8C8C8" ExportCompleted="ReportViewerUC_ExportCompleted" >
<ig:XamReportViewer.RenderSettings>
<ig:ClientRenderSettings x:Name="ClientSetting1" DefinitionUri="{Binding DefinitionUrlString} " />
</ig:XamReportViewer.RenderSettings>
</ig:XamReportViewer>
Should there be something put in place to dictate an expected landscape print orientation. Seems like the orientation is ignored.
Hi
In my mind this is a bug and not a new idea. If the report is set as landscape, then I expect it to print in landscape.
Having my own print button is a workaround and not a good one if I'm using Silverlight. How do I access the page settings of the printer from Silverlight?
