Ok, I am going to break something.

I am printing out invitations with pages and I have it all setup on how I want the page to look.

It is kind of landscape view when I look at it in pages. BUT I have to load the paper so that it is sort of portrait view because my printer cannot hold paper in landscape view. If you follow what i'm saying

The thing I created is like this, this is how it's designed and how it will look when printed.

But in order for the paper to fit in my printer it needs to print out like this and have everything sideways (while it's print) but once it's done, turn it and it's perfect:
Code:
|        |
|        |
|        |
|        |
|        |
|        |

Anways, the problem is in pages it prints like this:

Code:
|        |
|        |
|asdsd |sadsdsda
|        |
|        |
|        |
It won't twist it sideways or whatever. I hope somebody can understand what I mean because I am extremely frustrated.

Try checking your printer's settings, there might be an option to print in landscape.

I have, I don't see where I can do that. It's terribly annoying. There is no printer setting that I see that gives you options. There is something in page setup but then it F's everything in the pages document.
