You can try something like the following below should work for you

public void CustPrinting() 
{
   try 
     {
       strPrint = new StreamReader (filePath);
     try 
       {
         printFont = new Font("Arial", 10);
         PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument(); 
         pd.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(pd_PrintPage);
         pd.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = printer;
         // Set the page orientation to landscape.
         pd.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = true;
         pd.Print();
       } 
     finally 
     {
       strPrint.Close() ;
     }
   } 
   catch(Exception ex)
   { 
     MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
   }
 }

I could not find any way we could customize the printer settings of any individual printer. Here's the code which worked for me for EXCEL application.

CommonData._WORKBOOK is a static workbook object

Worksheet ws = CommonData._WORKBOOK.Application.ActiveSheet as Worksheet;

var _with1 = ws.PageSetup;

_with1.Orientation = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlPageOrientation.xlLandscape;
CommonData._WORKBOOK.Application.Dialogs[Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlBuiltInDialog.xlDialogPrint].Show(Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
                            Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
                            Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
                            Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
                            Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
                            Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
