It is the contents of the document that determines whether it is printed landscape or portrait. If there are no printer codes in the document to select landscape, the default of portrait will be used. If the document was created as printer output from some application, such as WordPerfect, that knows how to instruct the printer to use landscape, then you can select landscape in that application. Since you are using SCO, you *may* be able to select landscape with a command-line option. It depends on the printer interface script that has been defined for that printer. Let's see if I can remember the directory where those are kept: /usr/spool/lp/admin/lp/interfaces? Anyway, the options in the script are invoked with the -o option: lp -dlphp5 -olandscape filename Find the printer interface script and see if you can tell if there is any option in there which sends printer codes to do landscape. As a very last resort, you can add the codes to the beginning of the document manually, assuming the document is not PostScript. Finding documentation about what those codes are has become very difficult.
