Hello  
good morning.

I want to do is print a screen, but I want to print the sheet horizontally.

how I can do, this is the script that I have.

[color=#FF0000]def printScreen(event):  
import system  
window = system.gui.getParentWindow(event)  
rc = window.getRootContainer()  
job = system.print.createPrintJob(rc)  
job.setMargins(0)  
job.showPageFormat = 0  
job.print()[/color]
