Javascript Print button - Auto-Rotate and Center

All of the newer and more complete print parameters require using the PrintParams Object (look it up in the JavaScript Reference, there are examples). But, unfortunately it does not appear that this particular print parameter was included.

The AutoRotate is included for the Nup option. So I thought that maybe this parameter was doing double duty, or that you could do N-Up printing with a 1x1 tile, which should give you the same affect as normal printing.

I tried out both ideas and unfortunately neither panned out. The nUpAutoRotate Option only works when pageHandling is set to Nup and the NUp option does not allow a 1x1 page configuration. It defaults to 2 pages/page

This is a bummer, Such as easy parameter to include.

The value of AutoRotate is always the setting on the last print. So you can set it manually.

I remember seeing this post as I was trouble shooting similar. This has worked for me, hope it helps.

var pp = this.getPrintParams();
var fv = pp.constants.flagValues;
pp.flags = fv.setPageSize=false;//Sets the Auto-Rotate and Center Flag
pp.interactive = 0;// 0=interactive, 1=auto, 2=silent
pp.pageHandling = 3;//3=shrink to fit
this.print(pp);

Best,

Brilliant Kent!! How could I have missed those:( It was the suppress prefix that threw me off.

So how about this code:
