Thanks for your suggetions kyley. We end up having to render everything to an image and rotate it 180 degrees.

To maintain fine print quality we use Tmetafilecanvas instead of Tcanvas, which makes rotating much harder. But we got there at the end.

The printing options are normally just an indication to the software
of how it should print. They are not normally done by the operating
system.

you may need to render your report to a graphic, then rotate and print
the graphic.
