Under my windows Vista, I tell my printer in the print dialog that I  
want landscape. I do not actually think that this is Stata`s job...

but this is not helpful, as including the -print graph- in a do-file  
causes Stata to send the graph to the printer without putting up a  
print dialog box in which you could specify orientation.  However the  
Stata command
print @Graph, orientation(landscape)
will do what you want with the most recently produced (or loaded)  
graph. The Stata command
translator query Graph2ps
will show you that you can also modify many of the other features that  
you could access in a print dialog, such as xsize and ysize,  
magnification (scaling), whether the logo is to be printed, etc.
