All I was saying is that the 2D printing API can set the page orientation.
The 2D printing, unlike the 1.1 api printing doesn't need to use dialogs
at all to control the various "properties".
But there are two dialogs to control page set up and printer job setup.
Eg if you want to allow the user to select orientation, then use :-
PageFormat PrinterJob.pageDialog(PageFormat page);
you can query the return value and see that it has orientation set.
But you'll need to wait for the maintenance release for setting
orientation to actually affect the printed page because of a different
