NT4 Printer Driver Document Orientation Problem

NTDEV
1

I am working on an NT4 Printer driver and have come across the following
problem. I am using JOB_INFO_2 to determine the document orientation in
pDEVMODE when I print. If I open word97 and change orientation of document
to landscape in page setup, the orientation in JOB_INFO_2 is still
portrait, however, if I print a second time, it changes to landscape. Why
does this happen? It appears to occur in word but not excel.

Thankyou

David

if you change the orientation,
then you should get calls to DrvEnable and ExtDevicemode
Are you sure you are doing the right thing there ?
i.e. merging the DEVMODE properly …
i am not sure , but if i remember correctly,
you have to merge the DEVMODE set by the application
and one maintained by the driver.

hope this helps
