Welcome to the HP User Community.

 

How / Where to select "Orientation" for Print:

Depends to some extent on the printer (supported??)

 

Software installed?

 

Depends on how you open, view, and submit the print job to the printer, too.

For example,

If you are simply using "Cntrl-P" to print and not opening the content to be printed, you are stuck with whatever is defined in Printing Preferences / previously set up.

 

Example - Printing Preferences - Shortcut "Everyday Printing"

9025_Printing_Preferences_Everyday_49025_Printing_Preferences_Everyday_4

 

==================================================================================

Orientation would normally be one of the settings available in your printer software.

 

Example - HP Smart - Windows - Simple Photo Print - A4

HP_Smart_W10_Print_Photo_A4_All_4HP_Smart_W10_Print_Photo_A4_All_4
