My application currently uses standard Print Manager Page Setup... and
Print... dialogs for printing to a LaserWriter (ImageWriter not really
useful in this application).

Trouble is, I want the Page Setup defaults to select "landscape"
orientation rather than portrait, and to select "Larger Print Area"
from the LaserWriter options.  Although the user may occasionally want
to deviate from these defaults, they will be correct 95% of the time.

Is there any way for me to "initialize" the dialog so that these
defaults are selected?  A reading of IM and the TNs hasn't yielded my
answer; or at least I've overlooked it if its there.

Thanks...phil
