I see why no one answered my question. It is already answered in the help
file:
To print in landscape mode, set the printRotated to true before printing:
set the printRotated to true
print card My Card
Note: The printRotated property has no effect on Mac OS and OS X systems.
To print in landscape mode on Mac OS or OS X, use the answer printer or
revShowPrintDialog command to display the Page Setup dialog box before
printing, then choose the Landscape option in the dialog box.
In other words if you are using Mac OS X you cannot automatically switch
between landscape and portrait mode although this makes me wonder...how do
programs that automatically do this like acrobat pro manage to do it?

I Found out that I can manually set the page set-up to landscape and then
on mouseup
set the printmargins to 0,0,0,0
open printing with dialog
-- reverse width with height
print card from 0,0 to 692,612
close printing
end mouseup
This works but setting the mode manually to landscape and the back to
portait manually is time consuming. Is there some way to automate this in
the scrpipt?

I have a stack that is smaller than an 8.5 by 11 sheet of paper
(it is 728 pixels by 636). I presently put png images which are several
thousand pixels wide by height (to get the resolution) and told to be 612 by
792 and locked in with the size and position panel.
I then print them with the following button:
on mouseup
-- printMargins left,top,right,bottom
set the printmargins to 0,0,0,0
open printing with dialog
print card from 0,0 to 612,792
close printing
end mouseup
This works fine except now I want to print some forms that are landscape and
putting them on with width 792 and height 612 (so they will be right side up
and not sidewise) prints only as much wide as will fit on the paper.
How in mac os x do I get the printing to come out in landscape and thus get
the whole form?
By the way this method gives me very clear 300 dot per inch printing on my
laser printer but is a little slower than ideal (takes several seconds).
