I hit print by accident earlier and realised my page looked awful printed vertically when it came out of the printer. Is there a property I can set in the code to make it print horizontally by default?

Do you mean in landscape mode (as opposed to portrait)? – Tom Nov 23 '09 at 09:58

In which code, the HTML on the page? – Carl Smotricz Nov 23 '09 at 09:58

Use landscape for the page size and media="print":
<style type="text/css" >
@page
{
size: landscape;
margin: 2cm;
}
</style>
Doesn't work with IE6 but should work with IE7 and better or any other browser.

In the CSS you can do:
@page {
size: landscape
}
But I'm not sure about browser support.
You could always make the design more fluid ;-)
