1896405 - Page Orientation is being ignored while printing a report from Crystal Reports winform viewer.

• Page Orientation is being ignored while printing a report from Crystal Reports winform viewer.
• Page orientation is set through Printer Preferences from windows print control.

• Crystal Reports 2008
• Visual Studio 2008

1. Preview a Crystal report in Crystal Reports winform viewer.
2. Click ‘Print’ button from viewer, windows print control appears.
3. Select the printer from the list.
4. Click ‘Preferences’.
5. Change the page orientation to Landscape.
6. Observe the printout, report gets printed as Portrait.

• This is by design.
• Same behavior is observed from Crystal Reports designer.

• In this scenario the solution is to handle the paper orientation through SDK code.
  The entire printing scenario could be handled by implementing a custom print button using InProc RAS SDK.
• The sample code is provided in KB "1561333 using the InProc Report Application Server (RAS) SDK for .NET to print a report".
