I'm trying to print from an Excel spreadsheet, I've set the page setup and clicked on advance to change all settings to Landscape, however, print preview only shows portrait and when it prints its the same?
Any ideas how to fix this problem!
Thanks
Make sure the correct printer driver is installed.Check your user guide.Read the information below.
Printer Settings
You can use the printer properties window, which allows you to
access all of the printer options you need when using your
printer. When the printer properties are displayed, you can
review and change the settings needed for your print job.
Your printer properties window may differ, depending on your
operating system. This Software User’s Guide shows the
Properties window for Windows 98.
Your printer driver Properties window that appears in this User’s
Guide may differ depending on the printer in use.
If you access printer properties through the Printers folder, you
can view additional Windows-based tabs (refer to your
Windows User’s Guide) and the Printer tab (see “Printer Tab” on
page 10).
NOTES:
• Most Windows applications will override settings you specify
in the printer driver. Change all print settings available in the
software application first, and change any remaining settings
using the printer driver.
• The settings you change remain in effect only while you are
using the current program. To make your changes
permanent, make them in the Printers folder.
• The following procedure is for Windows XP. For other
Windows OS, refer to the corresponding Windows User's
Guide or online help.
1. Click the Windows Start button.
2. Select Printers and Faxes.
3. Select your printer driver icon.
4. Right-click on the printer driver icon and select
Printing Preferences.
5. Change the settings on each tab, click OK.

I have the same problem for Excel in Windows Vista.
Same problem... I am using vista and have the printer in my home network on an XP machine.
Using Vista and unable to print in landscape, too.
MS Excel seems aware of the limit: even after setting landscape format, print preview shows the page in portrait format. Other software, like OpenOffice, gives a correct preview, but when printing orientation is still portrait.
