where I make mistake ?
using - PrintDocument---Print() or PrintPreviewControl
-PrintPreviewControl ---Show()
-PrinterSeting
-----------------------------------
PageSettings
PrinterSettings
PageSetupDialog – ShowDialog()
and few other combination :
I can’t get print or preview like Landscape or Portrait programmaticly,
evry time I get like is my setup in windows setup, so if it is Portrait and
I wont Landscape, I get Portrait, regardless my programmaticly setup, regardless print or display
and vice versa
Using PageSetupDialog I make change on dialog , but when after that I see
my real printer setup ,he stay without change.
So evry time I have Print or Preview like is windows printer setup, not my.
Can .net printer types reach real printer seting (setting from Windows)
and change them real?
