Printing my music

My music is three pages and when I print I only get one page. How do I print the entire score

The code claims differently though:

//---------------------------------------------------------
//   printFile
//---------------------------------------------------------
 
void MuseScore::printFile()
      {
#ifndef QT_NO_PRINTER
      LayoutMode layoutMode = cs->layoutMode();
      if (layoutMode != LayoutMode::PAGE) {
            cs->setLayoutMode(LayoutMode::PAGE);
            cs->doLayout();
            }
...
      if (layoutMode != cs->layoutMode()) {
            cs->setLayoutMode(layoutMode);
            cs->doLayout();
            }
#endif
      }

together with:

//---------------------------------------------------------
//   LayoutMode
//    PAGE   The normal page view, honors page and line breaks.
//    LINE   The panoramic view, one long system
//    FLOAT  The "reflow" mode, ignore page and line breaks, stave spacer up, fixed and down
//    SYSTEM The "never ending page", page break are turned into line break
//---------------------------------------------------------
 
enum class LayoutMode : char {
      PAGE, FLOAT, LINE, SYSTEM
      };

(FLOAT mode being used by the mobile apps, but as of recently also available in 3.7 in 'experimental' mode, i.e. using the -x commandline option, not in 3.6.2 though)

With "All" selected (as in my images posted above)...
With "Page view" all three pages print as displayed. (WYSIWYG)
With horizontal "Continuous view" a single system is printed at the top of a landscape-oriented sheet.
With vertical "Continuous view" the Title frame + six systems get printed on only one portrait-oriented sheet.

The printer's paper orientation default setting is always "Portrait", never changed by me in those 3 tests.
