Issues with Page Setups/Printing in Layouts

I am trying to print a layout but although I have selected Landscape the preview under the "Printer/plotter" section is still showing the page as portrait. I have tried shutting down and restarting AutoCAD and opening different documents but I am still having the same issue.

 

FYI - I am using AutoCAD 2018.

 

Many thanks in advance.

When you hit preview or plot does your drawing plot correctly? Please try it and let me know. My preview doesn't update when I toggle between portrait and landscape but my drawings print just fine.

When I look at the preview it comes up in the correct orientation but when I print the layout it comes out portrait and so chops off part of my drawing.

To expand on @Patchy's reply - here are the settings to change inside the plot driver Properties. It may save a new .pc3 file called "your printer.pc3" with the new settings, use that rather than the printer driver and it should plot landscape. I do this for my pdf creator which only makes pdfs in portrait by default.

Edit: would help if I added the screenshotprint landscape.JPG
