Just curious, but why don't you use the settings in the DEVMODE
structure to select orientation and duplex? (This is non-vcl )

OpenPrinter(&printer_name,&printerHandle,NULL);
num_bytes = DocumentProperties(NULL, printerHandle, &printer_name,
				NULL, NULL, 0);
DevMode = (DEVMODE*)GlobalAlloc( GMEM_FIXED|GMEM_ZEROINIT,num_bytes);
DocumentProperties(NULL, printerHandle, &printer_name, DevMode,
				NULL, DM_OUT_BUFFER);

DevMode.dmOrientation = DMORIENT_LANDSCAPE;
DevMode.dmDuplex = DMDUP_VERTICAL;
DevMode.dmFields = DM_ORIENTATION | DM_DUPLEX;

DocumentProperties(NULL, printerHandle, &printer_name, DevMode,
		DevMode, DM_OUT_BUFFER | DM_IN_BUFFER);

	// create a printer device context
printerDC = CreateDC( NULL, &printer_name, NULL, DevMode); 
GlobalFree(DevMode);
