Gimp probably do not send the PDF as a PDF... It may well be doing the
rasterization on its side and send the "raw" image to the printer
directly.

Ok, so this is more a PDF issue than a print-module one. Tobias which is
the author of the PDF export may have an idea about this problem.

What I would try is to generate a PDF from another tool with a landscape
image and try to print it. Well, I've done so from EoG sending a print
to CUPS-PDF:

Can you try to print this with:

$ lp -d hpphotosmartprob8800series -o landscape=true landscape.pdf

I'm not a CUPS developer and I'm not sure to make sense of all this log,
but this looks strange:

> D [31/Jan/2015:19:47:24 -0800] [CGI] /usr/share/cups/drivers/pscript5.dll: No

Is that CUPS on Windows? Looks like postscript support is missing????

No, the option should be: -o landscape=false

Definitely something strange with this printer. Maybe not "smart" enough
it needs some more information embedded into the PDF.

I hope we will find this issue...
