We describe an efficient method to compute the efficiency factors for radiation pressure for randomly-oriented axially-symmetric nonspherical grains. The method is based on Waterman's T-matrix approach and may be used in computations for grains with sizes smaller than or of the order of the wavelength. An illustrative numerical example for randomly oriented spheroidal grains is given.
