Hi,
Can anybody tell me how can I change printer orientation to default landscape (in Java). I think a can use ShellExecute, but don't know exactly how...

Take a look at java.awt.print.PrinterJob. You can set printer attibutes and even popup a GUI if you want the user to change any other settings.

Wow - that's pretty old. I'd guess that you're working with an older I.E. browser, right? I think you may have to go native. Most of the interesting stuff was added in the 1.2 JDK and the really good stuff didn't show up until 1.4.
