SYMPTOMS
Windows version 3.1 allows you to install a generic PostScript printer driver. If this driver is installed, Microsoft Project for Windows ignores the Page Setup orientation settings you have selected.

WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, install for a specific model of a PostScript printer. For example, choose the Apple LaserWriter instead of the generic PostScript printer. Also, the page orientation can be selected by changing the orientation selection in the printer driver setup.

MORE INFORMATION
Not all of the Windows printer drivers support the ability to change the orientation from Portrait to Landscape in the Page Setup dialog box. In this case, however, the PostScript driver is a generic setting, and a specific Windows Printer Description file (files with a .WPD extension) has not been installed.

Without a WPD file installed, the orientation settings are accessible, but the printer driver ignores your orientation selection. The same behavior occurs if a specific PostScript printer model has been installed but the WPD file is removed.
