I was having a problem with my report format and found the thread with
the subject "Strange Printer Behavior" which described my problem as
well (please read that one for background issues). That thread was
left hanging with no resolution, so when I solved my problem I thought
I would post it; however, it said I could not since the thread was over
30 days old or closed by a moderator...
So here it is: In our case, it had to do with the default printer
chosen on the machine running the app. On our production server the
default printer is Adobe PDF, but when various of us mapped a drive to
the server (or copied the db to our hard drive) and tried to open that
report, those of us using PostScript printer as our default had no
problem, while those of us using a PCL5 printer had the
orientation-swap phenomenon. So the solution was to change the default
printer to PS. It also worked to change it to Adobe. I'm sure there
are others that would work and/or fail but that's all I tested.
