Print Report in Landscape mode

I am using Reporting services,

I want to print out my report in landscape-format, and not in portrait-format, is there a property or any mode I have to change that I can create a landscape-formatted report?

Note: Sometimes you can have this set correctly and the printer simply ignores the settings and does whatever it's internal properties are set to. One work around to that is to print to PDF and then print the PDF document. Another is to manually change the printer properties before printing the document.

I am using Visual Studio 2010 with Business Intelligence Studio 2012 The report settings from VS2010 is working well for setting paper size, orientation and margins. (As suggested by Malachi, but just giving VS screenshots) This can be accessible from VS menu as pictured below:

You need to click outside of the body of the report (where the red box is)

Where to Click

This will bring up the Report Properties (my properties tab shows up on the right)

Here, you need to swap the height and width of the `PageSize' Field

settings to change

Then when SSRS tries to decide if this should be a portrait or a landscape it will know, without a doubt, that this is a landscape Report.

You can select the report property (right click on the background) and specify the paper size and the orientation there.

that is what it uses for printing

I believe that you can't do that explicitly. I searched on the same question in context with SQL-2008. Result was that RS decides by itself, based on content. But I can prove it by giving you some link.

EDIT

I searched especially in context of tablix report.
