TCppWebBrowser does not use TPrinter. Changing printer settings when using
the WebBrowser is a real pain.  MSDN has several articles on what you can
do. They are all hacks, but its the only way. Use Google to search for
"WebBrowser print settings' and you should see some MSDN articles on the
subject.

ok more problems,

i did a search and found (as noted in some elses earlier post) that some of
the properties could be changed in the registry at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup
which is taken from :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup
 if it doesn't exist

this contains, header footer and margins but not orientation :(
unfortunately i need to default to landscape :(

i then tried using css but that option isn't available to me as there are
nested tables which it don't get changed :(
Really struggling to find a work around any suggestions?

The next level of customization is via Print Templates. Check them out here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/browser/hosting/printpreview/reference/reference.asp

You will find an "orientation" property that you could use to get landscape.
