Default HP 8250 keeps resettng to Landscape

Hi,

I am suddenly having a problem with my HP 8250 inkjet printer, which
although old, still makes beautiful color prints.

Recently, it keeps on resetting itself to landscape, even though I set
everything to portrait.

Is there something that I am missing? Any advice would be greatly
appreciated.

I am running an HP laptop with Windows 7 Pro 32 bit.

Thanks.

Mort Linder

No idea why it would do that aside from a corrupted file. I'd
eliminate it and re-install it.

How to print is a function of the print Driver and the Print Job.

The defaults for a given Printere are set in Devices and Printers.
Most applications inherit the default settings for a given printer but are
overriden in a Print Job.

Therefore start with the default settings for the HP 8250 and then work your
way back to the application which you are trying to render a Print Job with.

Hi David,

Thanks for your reply. The default printer is already set to portrait.
This morning, after a week of printing out landscape mode, the printer
is suddenly behaving and printing in portrait mode again, even though I
have not made any additional changes in the settings. I can curse the
printer in several languages, but it does not help.

FWIW, Acrobat Reader is a fairly widely used application which stores
it's own last used settings.

So do some Internet Browsers.
However, one should still check a printer's default settiung in the OS
before checking the Print Job settings.

Default HP 8250 keeps resettng to Landscape Misbehaving agan

Hi,

It's me again. Everything was fine, until I had to print one document
in landscape format. Thereafter, I reset all the settings and the
selection to portrait. Nevertheless, it once more prints everything in
landscape mode. I have to choose properties and reset to portrait now
before every printed page that I do, which can be very tiresome. Last
time, it reverted to portrait by itself after a few days. I cannot
puzzle out why it behaves this way, or how to fix it.

Thanks again,

Mort Linder
