I just made a BAQ report in E10.0.700.4, in report builder i made the report to print out in landscape.
when I print out the report using client printer it always prints out the report in portrait. I have noticed this with other reports that Epicor made, specifically Job Traveler, that act the same way. The Job Traveler page setup is to print it landscape. To get it to print out as a landscape document I have to print preview it, then print from adobe reader, then I get a landscape document. Is there something I am missing in Report Builder to get it to really print it out as a landscape document?
I’ve had the same problems. haven’t had time to look into it much though.
sorry
I am able to change report layout in Report Builder. You can change the page orientation by right click in designer and set the landscape or portrait. Then you have to resize all report items including sub reports. I had already changed the jb travelers report to portrait.
Let us know for questions.

Boosting this in the hopes that someone has found a solution. For us, too, a landscape report displays correctly if we preview it, but if we print straight to pdf, it generates a landscape page with the report rotated 90 degrees and shrunk to fit. The parameters in the print dialog by default are portrait and “Letter Rotated,” so I’ve tried combinations of portrait/landscape and Letter/Letter Rotated, but nothing gets the right result.
We are also experiencing a number of Margin/orientation rendering issues when direct printing from Epicor 10.1.400.4. Always works exactly as needed in Preview, but gets munged otherwise.We have spent a tremendous amount of time troubleshooting on the client end and have to throw this one to Epicor support. If we get any resolution we will post.
I have found that when you print directly to the client printer (no preview) there is a tab (page settings or something like that) where you can explicitly set portrait or landscape and that has worked for me. It’s not friendly but it works.
Right - that is where the problem lies on our end. Those settings are not functioning correctly, forcing the users to preview instead to ensure margins/orientation are properly applied.
I find a solution in our enviroment. We setup in windows the same printer 2 times 1 with a landscape setup and the other with portrait setup and when our users choose client printer they pick one depending the report. It is not the best solution we are researching a better way to solve the problem. We are doing this because the tab that let you change from landscape to portrait in epicor sometimes behave buggie
So I struck this same issue, it appears that E10 does not honor the Layout (Portrait/Landscape) of the RDL page setup itself.
The Landscape option in the Page Setting of the print, should reflect the RDL page setting.
I am thinking that this might be a feature request. Setting up two printers seems pretty ridiculous.
We are on 10.1.600 so if this has been resolved in a later version I am more than happy to have more reason to upgrade to 10.2 sooner, if anyone can tell me.
