Vista - Print Wizard Auto Rotates

01-22-2008

Hi,

I receive my faxes in digital form, they come as tif files. Previously in XP
my tif files print out fine. However with Vista, the print wizard
automatically rotates ALL my faxes to landscape view, meaning the printouts
will be halved and stretched along the width of my A4 paper.

The faxes appears fine when I view them on the Photo gallery but not the
printouts. No matter how I rotate the faxes in Photo Gallery, the print
wizard will rotate them to landscape view. Is there anyway I can get them
printed in its original portrait view?

Assistance will be v much appreciated.

Thank you.

I feel your pain. Easiest fix for me was to save the TIF file to my desktop,
and open / print it using the Apple Preview application on my MacBook Pro.
Vista and Office 2007 work well in Parallels, and the Apple applications
continue to be lifesavers. Looked for a Windows solution for about half an
hour... if it's there, I sure can't find it, nor could the others in this
discussion group.
