Landscape Printing Bug in High Sierra
Mac Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13)
If you save your own "printing Preset" it includes the page orientation (since HighSierra), even though the print dialog has no way to edit the page orientation in Numbers & Pages.
Only the default presets changes the orientation according to your file automatically. (for some reason?)
This is clearly a stupid bug in the printer settings of MacOS.
A workaround is to setup separate presets fro landscape and portrait orientation. or only use the default printer setting till Apple finally fixes this issue.
What orientation does the print preview in the dialog show? I am able to print in landscape from Numbers and Pages to an HP after making sure the page orientation is set to landscape.
You don't need to delete them in the folder, you can do it from within Pages and Numbers.
I cannot find printers and scanners in my system preferences!
You can also edit these files. For each preset, expand com.apple.print.preset.settings,then delete the key
com.apple.print.preset.Orientation. Save and restart your computer.
You were right... it was overkill. It happened again and I used your instructions and so far so good. Thanks for the tip!
Here's the problem, Apple released another POS software update!!! Getting really tired of this Apple!
Thank you so much for this answer. It worked for me and it wasn't too much trouble to add my printer back.
Thank you!!! That worked for me while the other solutions on this thread did not.
Yep. And I have a presentation coming up and can't print exhibits in landscape. Apple rushed iOS 11 too.
Thank you!
Thanks, worked for me and I was able to update my printer driver
Deleting then reentering my printer in System Preferences/ Printers & Scanners worked for me too.
This is also a problem in Calendars! And it doesn't have the orientation selection that Numbers and Pages have. FIX IT Please Apple!
Thanks, this is the one that worked for me. Odd that it works one day then it is all gone to pigs and whistles [old British technical term]
