All you can do is prompt the user to set their browser to print the document landscape. They can do this in all the popular browsers using the File/Page Setup menu. I know you'd like to control it from the web app--to force it to print landscape. There is not any natural way to do it. There are ActiveX controls that--IF your users are willing to install--can do this for you. ActiveX controls are IE-only.
