web page print button and settings

Question

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience modifying print settings via a web page. My overall goal would be to setup a print button on a web page

<a href="javascript:window.print()">Print This Page</a> 

And at the same time modify the users print settings to print the page from a landscape view. Input on if this is even possibly, or other suggestions would be appreciated. Modifying the page layout isn't really an option. I thought about using a separate style sheet for the printing page but that doesn't help with what I'm actually printing.

For security reasons your JavaScript would not have have access to the print setup page.
