Question ID: 216143
I have a asp page that has a print button, when clicking the button it
pops up the print dialog box.  That is fine, but I want it to
automatically be set at landscape, legal, manual feed.  I am able to
accomplish legal and manual feed, but the landscape does not stick.  I
am using IP Printing and set up the printer with all settings needed. 
The printer's use is only for this report.  So how can I get this to
print.  I have heard you cannot, unless you install and active x that
is fine but have no clue how to write one.  What I am wanting is a way
to do this, if using active x the code as well to make this happen. 
My OS is 2000.  Any questions let me know.
Thanks

Meadroid offers a nice component called ScriptX. I know several people
who have used this with great success to get full browser print
control.

I believe that this is a free and freely distributable component. It
only works for Microsoft Interent Explorer. Take a look at this
component. If it meets your requirements, let me know by posting a
clarification, and I will post this information as an official answer.
