Why don't you just rotate the entire movieclip instead of the textfield?
Works for me.
Here's the script for always printing landscape with PrintJob:
function printCertificate() {
var mc = MC_Certificate;
var realW = mc._width;
var realH = mc._height;
_pj = new PrintJob();
var pageCount = 0;
if (_pj.start()) {
var portrait, cXscale, cYscale;
var orient = _pj.orientation;
if (orient.toLowerCase() != "landscape") {
portrait = true;
mc._rotation = 90;
mc._x = mc._width;
cXscale = (_pj.pageWidth / realH) * 100;
cYscale = (_pj.pageHeight / realW) * 100;
} else {
cXscale = (_pj.pageWidth / realW) * 100;
cYscale = (_pj.pageHeight / realH) * 100;
}
mc._xscale = mc._yscale = Math.min(cXscale, cYscale);
if (_pj.addPage(mc, {xMin:0, xMax:realW, yMin:0,
yMax:realH})) {
pageCount++;
}
}
if (pageCount > 0) {
_pj.send();
}
mc._xscale = mc._yscale = 100;
if (portrait) {
mc._rotation = 0;
mc._x = 0;
mc._y = 0;
}
delete _pj;
}
