HP DeskJet 882C won't print landscape.
Hi,
"Landscape" is enabled in all applicable places but the HP 882C prints only "portrait" repeatedly. Any solutions to correct this? Thank you. Andy I. (Win XP SP2)

(Win XP SP2) If it previously did print landscape mode and now it won't, I would uninstall and install the print drivers. Also, check to see if you didn't end up with some strange paper size setting.

HP DeskJet 882C won't print landscape.
Thanks "Al", Yes it did print landscape mode previously, but the situation is a bit more complicated than I first reported. I'm using the printer with a scanner to copy a document. The document is full letter size in landscape mode, and as I said, the printer churns it out in portrait mode. Now a discovery which may provide a clue: when I set the printer to *portrait* mode, the output is in correct *landscape* mode! Also, when printing normally (not copying), the orientation printouts match the settings OK. Puzzled. does this mean it's a scanner problem? Andy I.

Now a discovery which may provide a clue: when I set the printer to *portrait* mode, the output is in correct *landscape* mode! The scanner does not have any particular concept of portrait vs. landscape mode, it is simple scanning light and dark areas of the page. The scan is in portrait orientation and the file it generates reflects that. Selecting Landscape in the printer driver would result in the document being rotated 90 degrees and would give the results you are seeing. Regards, Bob Headrick, MS MVP Printing/Imaging

That's most enlightening, Bob. I've never thought of it that way.
So......... because the document lies "lengthways" in the scanner, it is considered to be in portrait mode? Andy I.

Thanks Andy for your contribution.
I didn't *save* the scan. This scanner has a "Copy" mode. Once scanned, the printer starts up and I set the printer options "landscape/ portrait", etc. 'Fraid I know nothing about "auto-rotate".......... Andy I.
