No option to change from Portrait to Landscape for printing in osx Yosemite.

I have a big problem with the printing in Yosemite, because I can't find anywhere an option to change the printer orientation from Portrait to Landscape and I need to do all my printings in Portrait mode.


I badly need to have a small button or option to change to LANDSCAPE printing. I reseted all the printing system to its default, but still no option to change orientation.

Hi,

Try this and check if that may help:


1. Open a new tab in Firefox.

2. In the new tab, type

about:config
in the address bar.

3. Click the button and agree that you understand the risks of proceeding.

4. Search for the print orientation preference by typing

print.print_orientation
in the search area, or just type
print
in the search area and scroll until you find it.

5. Default is 0. Try changing that to 1 (or if it is 1, change it back to 0).

6. You may find a specific orientation for your printer -- if so, change that one.


I think the changes are take effect immediately, but if not, quit and restart.

No printer is selected in the photo you posted. What printer do you have? Have to verify what printer it is and verify and download the latest software from their website.
