I walked them through what they were supposed to do and they did it correctly but it still printed in portrait. The staff person even tried to print from the Print command on the toolbar, choose landscape but didn't get a copy of the census schedule, just all the extra pages no one wants or needs.

I think the the FHC director has set the printer to portrait and Print
function the browser cannot not override the printer setting. My local
county library has done this. If someone changes the setting from
Portrait to lLndscape, the setting stays on Landscape until another
usee resets it to portrait. Lots of bad images and paper are wasted.
