Hi Kris,

Thanks for the reply.  The printer is already attached to the eCS box
directly through USB and shared - that's how my Windows box uses it -
so I don't think the problem is to do with Windows in this case
(especially since I have the correct driver installed on the windows
box and I can set portrait or landscape properly from there).  

Also, I have tried a variety of Laserjet drivers (other Brother & HP
ones) and *none* of them (so far) allow me to set the page orientation
radio buttons!  I have noticed that, if I install a Postscript driver,
I can set the radio buttons but this doesn't work since the 2070 isn't
Postscript!  I don't understand what's going on!

Dave
