Printing in landscape

[Bill]

I Found out that I can manually set the page set-up to "landscape" and then

on mouseup
   set the printmargins to 0,0,0,0
   open printing with dialog
-- reverse width with height
   print card from 0,0 to 692,612
   close printing
end mouseup 

This works but setting the mode manually to landscape and the back to
portait manually is time consuming. Is there some way to automate this in
the scrpipt?
