Hello,

We are running Waterloo Script 89.1 under CMS.  I have a user here who
wants to print a SCRIPT file on an HP LASERJET Series II printer in
landscape mode.  There is an escape sequence you can send to the printer
before you print your document that switches the printer to landscape
orientation; however, when he prints the SCRIPT-generated LISTPCL file after
doing this, the file still prints in portrait mode.  Is there some
instruction in the LISTPCL file that is reseting the printer?  Does
anyone know how to print a SCRIPT-generated LISTPCL file in landscape mode?

We also have Waterloo Script 90.1 (uninstalled) and he has access to a
HP LASERJET Series III printer.  Is this any easier to do with the LJIII
driver available with this version of SCRIPT?

Thanks for any and all help.

                                           - john
