Принудительная ориентация страниц при печати

Что делает ясно из темы - принудительно меняет ориентацию листа при печати.

Код:

<script type="text/javascript">
var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");

function SetPrintProperties() {
  try {
    shell.SendKeys(\'%fu\');
    window.setTimeout("javascript:shell.sendKeys(\'%a{ENTER}\');", 1000);
    window.setTimeout("javascript:shell.SendKeys(\'%fv\');", 1000);
  } catch (e) {
    alert ("An exception occured: " + e + "\nCode is: " + e.number + "\nDescription is: " + e.description);
    document.location.href="printhelp.htm";
  }
}
</script>


<html> 
  <head> 
   <title>Print in Landscape</title> 
    
  <style type="text/css"> 
  div.breakafter {page-break-after:always; 
   color: silver} 
  div.breakbefore {page-break-before:always; 
   color: silver} 
  </style> 
   
  <style type="text/css" media="print"> 
  div.page  {  
    writing-mode: tb-rl; 
    height: 80%; 
    margin: 10% 0%; 
  } 
   
  div.page table { 
    margin-right: 80pt; 
    filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(Rotation=1); 
  } 
  </style> 
   
  <meta http-equiv="Keywords" 
        content="CSS print landscape; print landscape; printing in landscape; landscape printing; Web page print orientation; landscape orientation; HTML page in landscape; print; writing-mode; print stylesheet; style sheets; CSS tips;" /> 
  </head> 
   
  <body> 
   
  <h2>Force Specific Content to Print in Landscape Orientation</h2> 
  <p>This handy trick works in IE5.5/Win and newer. It assumes that the default printer orientation is portrait.</p> 
   
  <p>Use the <code>writing-mode</code> property (submitted to W3C). A value meant for East Asian typography, <code>tb-rl</code>, causes IE to write text from top to bottom and right to left. Surround the content you want in landscape with a DIV with a class defined in a print stylesheet. For instance: 
  </p>  
   
  <pre><style type="text/css" media="print"> 
  div.page {  
    writing-mode: tb-rl; 
    height: 80%; 
    margin: 10% 0%; 
  } 
  </style></pre> 
   
  <p>Note that now CSS properties have a reverse sense. Height means width and top/bottom margins become left/right margins. </p> 
  <p>Put a page break *after* a portrait page that is to be followed by a landscape and a page break *before* a portrait page that is preceded by a landscape. Tweak to your needs. <b>Caveat:</b> Data tables resist this hack. To get a table to flip nicely for print it is necessary to add another style ruleтАФwhich works only in IE6+. Please see the source for details. When once we practice to deceive, my, how the hacks unweave!

Если проверить данный код в IE - то первая страница будет в книжном варианте, вторая - в альбомном.
