Change orientation of label printing
Hello everyone, I'd like to ask if there is a way to change the orientation of the text when you print labels. I want the spine labels to be printed with vertical text -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Change-orientation-of-label-printing-tp585...

I haven't tried this, so take it with a grain of salt... but what about changing the label template, reversing the page height and width? E.g. for U.S. Letter size paper, use Page Height 8.5, Page Width 11. If this causes the page to print off the page, you can change the print orientation in your pdf viewer as you print.

This is probably the best approach given that the label tool does not support changing page orientation. Kind regards, Chris
Hi barton, thank you for your answer, I thought of that method as well and my guess is that it'll work just fine if I print just a single label. I'm afraid though that this can't work if you want to print more than one labels at the same time. I'm just interested to do this just for spine labels, and I found in the manual that you can modify the spinelabel.css to format the label from the "Quick Spine Label Creator" but I had no success with it. Has anyone tried to modify this css file and make it work? barton wrote

I'm not quite sure that I follow -- why wouldn't this work when printing multiple labels?
