Re: Getting Gvim print button to print in landscape mode

I tried it and unfortunately get the same results. It always prints in portrait mode regardless of the setting. The only way I can get it to print in landscape is by using the print dialogue and selecting landscape there.

Subject: Getting Gvim print button to print in landscape mode
 

Hello,

I've tried to set my vimrc parameters for landscape mode.  Here is what I have in my file:

"###
"######    Hardcopy Options
"######   See:   https://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/print.html#print-options
"######   See:   https://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/options.html#'statusline'  for header format
"###

"###    Specify font for printout
"set printmbcharset="default"
"set printoptions="paper:letter,portrait:n,duplex:off,left:5pc,right:5pc,top:5pc,bottom:5pc,syntax:n,wrap:y"
"set printoptions="portrait:n,duplex:off,wrap:y,syntax:n"
"set printoptions="portrait:n,numbers:y,wrap:y,syntax:n,left:5pc,right:5pc,top:5pc,bottom:5pc"
"set printoptions="portrait:n,numbers:y,wrap:y,syntax:y"
set printoptions="portrait:n"
"set printfont="Courier:h15"
set printfont="SourceSans:h15"
"#set printheader="%t%=%{strftime('%c')}%=Page %N"
set printheader="%<%f%=Page %N"

The line in bold is, in my view, set to force landscape, but that never happens.  As you can see, I tried many variations before eliminating everything, but the orientation for the printoptions variable.

Can someone tell me

  • why not getting what I want with what is currently in the vimrc?
  • what I need to change to make a vimrc-specified setting control the print format to give me what I want?


Thank you.
