I cannot seem to find a way to get the desired page to print horizontally instead of vertically as it normally does. Can I do this; how?

Currently, Family Tree Maker is the app in which I'm having this problem. I want to print a census report in "landscape" instead of "portrait."

On the Mac, this should be in your print window options, at least if you a printing from inside Firefox (see Printing a web page | How to | Firefox Help). Not sure about Family Tree Maker.

I have looked at the setting that are available on the Print page and do not see that any of the options available will change the orientation. Which specific setting do I use? Thanks for the help.

Sorry, I'm a Windows user and we have a completely different set of dialogs. If the screen shots in the article don't match what you see, hopefully another Mac user can provide more information.

Try the Preview button at the bottom of the Print dialog window and see if there are Portrait / Landscape buttons at the top of the Print Preview window. (Those buttons are there on Linux & Windows versions of Firefox, and most likely on Mac, too.)

If so, select Landscape and then Print from that Preview window.

On the Preview page, print and cancel seem to be the only options.
