Actually, my Win 10 command prompt does not recognize SetPrinter.

GoFigure /?

Anyway, no worries. I don't need this for any of my projects. I was just hunting a bit for alternatives, since esc codes are no longer supported. I suppose being able to print over a network or USB printer is just compensation for the loss.

SetPrinter has been around since Win Server 2000; it should definitely be in your Win 10 machine.  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/printdocs/setprinter

Try opening a cmd prompt with admin privileges and let me know what happens.  I'm using Win10 and have no issues with it.  I'd love to sort out what the differences might be.

Nope. Opened as admin and it still can't find it. BTW, just to be absolutely sure, I not only typed SetPrinter /? but I also copied and pasted it from your post, so no typos.

Hi Pete
from the link posted https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/printmanagement/set-printer?view=win10-ps
I can understand that after opening a cmd window you must type before "Powershell"   and then set-printer...
yes be careful to put the - between set and printer.
More than Set-Printer in PowerShell you can use
Set-printerconfiguration
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/printmanagement/set-printconfiguration?view=win10-ps
and
Set-Printerproperty
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/printmanagement/set-printerproperty?view=win10-ps
....
ok and in Linux or Macos? How is possible to change from landscape to protrait and viceversa?

[Pete]

OK, I'll try set-printer /? instead of SetPrinter /?

I'm in Powershell...

PS C:\Windows\System32>set-printer /?

No help info is generated. It just immediately goes back to the prompt, so...

PS C:\Windows\System32>set-printer /?
PS C:\Windows\System32>

That's what I get.

Usually Microsoft includes a help screen but maybe there isn't one for this command.

Looking on my machine, SetPrinter is in a "Windows Resource Kit" folder, so it may have been something I downloaded in a package in the past.  I think all that's needed to use it is the exe itself, so give it a try and see what you get.
