Re: [SL] Printing invoices in landscape format (.tex template / pdf / CUPS)

[C. D. H. <Du...@Du...>]

We don't print invoices landscape, but we do print labels that way.  
Here's what one of our landscape tex files looks like:


\documentclass[oneside]{scrartcl}
\documentstyle[rotate]{article}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{pstricks,tabularx}
\usepackage{pst-barcode}
\usepackage[absolute, overlay]{textpos}
\usepackage[paperwidth=4in,paperheight=2.25in,margin=0.125]{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\setlength\parindent{0pt}
\setlength\arrayrulewidth{0.1mm}

\begin{document}

\fontfamily{phv}\fontsize{18pt}{18pt}\selectfont
\pagestyle{myheadings}





\begin{sideways}
\begin{minipage}{2in}
\vspace{1in}
\begin{hyphenrules}{nohyphenation}
\begin{center} \textbf{<%notes%>}

\vspace{.5in}

\fontfamily{phv}\fontsize{8pt}{8pt}\selectfont
{\Tiny <%invnumber%>}

\end{center}\end{hyphenrules}
\end{center}\end{hyphenrules}
\end{minipage}
\end{sideways}



\end{document}

That should give you an idea of what you need to do, but an even easier 
way of dealing with this is to just create a CUPS queue that only prints 
landscape.
