There is no way to do this. Print orientation is something the USER specifies, via their print dialog box. You cannot and should not want to control this. The answer is to specify a print style sheet that formats the document in such a way that landscape orientation is not required.
This falls into the same category of developers wanting to "disable" the user's Back button. That's a no-no. That's part of the USER interface. The proper way to handle the situation is to assume they MIGHT press BACK, and write code to handle that eventuality.
You cannot FIX a problem by BREAKING user functionality.

I think you are assuming this is for a wrongly designed page. In my case I need landscape printing of a print version of a page. The client requires this.
So I have come to the conclusion that this works in firefox:
@page land {size: landscape;}While this is suppose to work in IE:
.land{filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=1)}HTML:
<BODY class="land">

You're posting in a thread that's over a year old... and I don't see a question in your post. Would you mind starting a new thread, and ask your question, if you have one, there?

My question is:
What is wrong since it doesn't print, but shows the page the way I want in the browserpreview (IE)?

This function belongs to the user, not the webmaster. If the user wants a landscape print, he can open the file menu and select it.
Remember that some users have printers which don't do landscape orientation.
