You can't do it via ASP!
I think that you could only print your document to a PDF or to a RTF and set the orientation to landscape

Hi there,

Well I agree with you both!
Actually first answer in you can’t change the browser preferences using web scripting. Sorry,

But you may use the activeX or high end programming to do this but that will be easily blocked by client side because of security reasons,
Well I am still not sure about this; see these articles, these may help you! (Not Sure ;) )
