Hi Beth,

Thanks for the reply.  I can't get any of the Laserjet drivers shipped
with eCS 2 RC1 (haven't got past RC1 yet as it works fine for me) that
I have tried to allow me to set the page orientation buttons.  I have
another very old IBM box still running eCS v1.0 and I tried creating a
printer on that using the 2060 driver and had the same problem.  I'm
not sure where to go from here.  I think from reading some of your
earlier posts you commented on the HL-5270?  I assume you don't have
similar problems with that?  I have noticed that, if I install a
Postscript driver, I can set the orientation properly but the 2070
isn't Postscript so doesn't work!

Have you had any experience with the 5240 or 5250?  I'm thinking now
that I should have gone for one of these.

Dave
