WM_DEVMODECHANGE message

I'm trying to use the DLL to change the printer
orientation. The orientation gets changed OK (if I check
the printer settings in the control panel), but applications
like Word and Notepad ignores it. I used WinSPY to see
if powerprinter sends any different WM_* messages than
when I manually do the same operation in the printer
settings. To me, it looks identical. What can be
wrong.....???

-100 error in Windows 2000...

Hi,

I'm using the PowerPrinter (POWERPRN.DLL) in my
PowerBuilder 7 application on Windows 95, 98 and 2000
to set teh current printer to Letter or Legal size paper,
but on Windows 2000 when the application tries to set a
network printer's Paper Size (or any other function as
well) I received a -100 error.

The PowerPrinter documentation simply says:

-100 Cannot get the printer -- access problem ?. Watch
out NT users

Is there more information on what I can do to resolve this
error?

I am testing with a UserID that has "Administrator"
rights and I still get this error so I assume it's not a user
privileges problem.

Thank you,
