Re: Getting Gvim print button to print in landscape mode ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/MIRRORS

Thank you,Christian, for replying.

However, the reference provided gives no different response to what I already have configured:

So ... are you saying that was a bug? ... and that it is now fixed in the never version?

OR ... is that a bug in the documentation, and that there is NO such functionality?

Note that the URL

• http://www.vim.org/binaries.html

tries to take me to SourceForge, where it fails:

Also, attempting to use Filezilla to reach, both,

• ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/MIRRORS
• ftp://ftp.vim.org/

resulted in the same error:

Please note that my computer is operating under

Thank you,

I've tried to set my vimrc parameters for landscape mode.

          Here you are not setting landscape mode.

As you can see, I tried many variations before eliminating everything, but the orientation for the printoptions variable.  

  Until v9.1.0907 Vim would always set "Portrait" in the generated   postscript file.

  So I would suggest to update your Vim.    Thanks,  Chris
