Hello,
I'm using 5 HP4050N and 1 HP4000N printers.
At home I use an HP OfficeJet K80xi.
In all cases cups-1.1.16-0.4mdk does not handle landscape.
I'm not sure how to tell which driver I use, but From /etc/cups/ppd/P9.ppd:
*PPD-Adobe: "4.3"
*%
*% "$Id: postscript.ppd,v 1.1.1.1 2000/08/24 19:23:13 goffioul Exp $"
*%
*% Sample Postscript driver PPD file for the Common UNIX Printing
*% System (CUPS).
*%
*% Michael Goffioul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
*%
*FormatVersion: "4.3"
*FileVersion: "1.1"
*LanguageVersion: English
*LanguageEncoding: ISOLatin1
*PCFileName: "POSTSCRIPT.PPD"
The landscape/cups problem has been discussed in the cups mailing list.
Here is part of the thread, I think the solution is at the end......

Seemingly the cups pstops filter removes the "%%%Orientation: ..."
option from the ps-document. As a result documents are printed in the
default orientation of the printer.
This is a problem when using e.g. a2ps which likes to print in landscape
mode. For the moment I have hacked pstops.c from the cups distribution to
just ignore the document provided orientation option, and this seems to
work.
Has anybody experienced the same problem?
Greetings
Claus

No, there is no patch, however you can easily grab just the updated
pstops.c file (which would be created by any patch we would supply)
from:
http://cvs.easysw.com/
and then recompile using the new pstops.c file in the filter
directory.
