Microsoft Publisher Printing The Wrong Way

SkidMarkKing · 2026-03-17T08:23:21+0000

Hi,

currently got an issue where a microsoft publisher document is supposed to be printed in landscape and Microsoft publisher keeps printing it in portrait. When saving as a PDF it prints properly (landscape).

Checked printer settings, all set to landscape, also reinstalled office 365 completely incase it's a publisher problem.

When printing from the second (previous PC) computer (files on onedrive) also using publisher the file prints out the correct way, landscape.

Any ideas please?

It will be a setting within Publisher as the application overrides the print driver. Check the default print settings with Publisher perhaps.

Was hoping reinstalling office would have sorted that

Most likely as said
The app is over riding printer settings
Been getting similar lately
Printer keeps saying settings dont match
Due to left alignment or similar
Need to press ok to continue

I found let app over ride i think
Both in windows settings
And in printer settings too

Only happened to me if it was an image
Documents/pdf files were fine
