Set printing settings programmatically for chart control (mscharts)

Is there a way to programmatically set some of the settings for the chart printing? I want the default print to be orientation of landscape, but the only way I can find to do that is launch the chart1.Printing.PageSetup() and have the user do it. I'd prefer to handle it all myself in code.

Below are my options. I tried playing with the PrintDocument settings, but couldn't find what I needed. Thanks in advanced.

Options

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0 and I'm using winforms.

You can set all kinds of properties, pretty much as you tried to do. Just look a little closer into the various properties of the PrintDocument, which is a regular PrintDocument object!

The Orientation is hidden behind the Landscape property..:

 chart1.Printing.PrintDocument.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = true;
