In our office we need to print credit card reports before the closing of the day. All reports come from IE 9 on our Windows 7 machine, but this dumb web site that generates them (Authorize.net) doesn't have an option to render a page "for print", so when we print them the right side of the page gets cut off — right where the amounts are 🙂
There's a workaround to go into the print settings in IE and change it to landscape, but the setting is reset to portrait the next time we open IE.
So my question is, how to make IE print that page in landscape by default? (Most of our office personnel aren't very computer savvy to bring up a print settings dialog before printing. Plus it will really save time even for people who know how to change it.)
EDIT: I'm talking about these settings:
I also found this page that allows to change margins, etc. but not the orientation 🙁

Default printing preferences are controlled by the printer driver, not the application. Application can preset its own but IE just doesn't. So there's no universal solution. It might exist for a specific printer though.
