I have a problem concerning printing in Landscape mode in
Windows 3.1 in a program that I am writing with Borland C++
version 3.1.  What is frustrating about this is that
everything works when I print Portrait mode but nothing
prints under Landscape mode (Laserjet IIIsi or Roland 9
pin).  I'm under the impression that there is no difference
in my code for Portrait and Landscape modes since windows
handles the print orientation.  Could I be wrong??  It
wouldn't be the first time!  I have tried some other source
code (DLGDEMO4 from PC-Magazine July 1992 by Ray Duncan, for
example) and have found that these programs also fail to
print in Landscape mode.

If I use landscape mode the window does not refresh from the
print dialog box and the program hangs on the EndPage
function until I cancel the print job.  Nothing is sent to
the printer.  Something is sent to the Print Spooler (a
StartDoc or StartPage) but no record of anything to
physically print.  If I click anywhere other then the cancel
print job button in my abort print dialog, I might have to
cntrl-alt-del the program to kill it.  I know that my
printer works with Landscape mode since NotePad and other
applications print Landscape mode just fine.  Could my
problem be something that I'm missing or could it be some
undocumented function or what?  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
