HP 8250 keeps resettng to Landscape
Hi,
I am suddenly having a problem with my HP 8250 inkjet printer, which although old, still makes beautiful color prints. Recently, it keeps on resetting itself to landscape, even though I set everything to portrait. Is there something that I am missing? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am running an HP laptop with Windows 7 Pro 32 bit. Thanks. Mort Linder |

The defaults for a given Printere are set in Devices and Printers. Most applications inherit the default settings for a given printer but are overriden in a Print Job. Therefore start with the default settings for the HP 8250 and then work your way back to the application which you are trying to render a Print Job with. -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |

The default printer is already set to portrait. This morning, after a week of printing out landscape mode, the printer is suddenly behaving and printing in portrait mode again, even though I have not made any additional changes in the settings. I can curse the printer in several languages, but it does not help. Mort |

So do some Internet Browsers. However, one should still check a printer's default settiung in the OS before checking the Print Job settings. -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |

HP 8250 keeps resettng to Landscape Misbehaving agan
Hi,
It's me again. Everything was fine, until I had to print one document in landscape format. Thereafter, I reset all the settings and the selection to portrait. Nevertheless, it once more prints everything in landscape mode. I have to choose properties and reset to portrait now before every printed page that I do, which can be very tiresome. Last time, it reverted to portrait by itself after a few days. I cannot puzzle out why it behaves this way, or how to fix it. Thanks again, Mort Linder Mort wrote: David H.
