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.
I am also having this issue. Is there any way to override the printer page layout? If the report is landscape then it should print landscape without the user being warned about page sizes.
Hi Obi Wan,
No, I have not found a solution to this. Infragistics answer is that it is the OS so there is nothing they can do about it. Other applications that print landscape don't seem to have the problem so it is a bit disappointing.
The suggestion was to intercept the printer request when it goes into the print queue and unify it's settings in there. I haven't got the faintest idea how to do that and it sounds complex and problematic.
The only solution I have found is to train the users to click No. It is not a nice answer and it is pretty embarrassing but it appears to be the only way.
Perhaps these are not the reporting components that you are looking for........
