Last Christmas my wife and I designed a family calendar for her side of the family. Being frugal (actually broke, as I am still recovering from a second round of cancer, which depleted our savings almost completely), we decided to print it ourselves on our Epson MFC printer using heavy matte paper. This worked quite well, and the family members were very happy with the calendars.
This year we decided to do the same thing for my side of the family. We were quite surprised and frustrated to discover that we could not properly control the printing!
Specifically, using the latest iPhoto, the calendar always prints in portrait mode!!!! I can find no mechanism that even permits me to select the mode for the print, and despite the fact that the print dialog indicates that landscape mode (the little picture looks right), but it actually prints in portrait mode!
We had to resort to the kludge of using iPhoto to print to a PDF file and them open the file with Preview and print it from there. Preview not only selects the landscape mode automatically, but permits me to change the orientation at will!
Is this a missing feature from the latest iPhoto? Or am I missing some obscure setting that permits the use of landscape mode?
