Chuckle, ymmv I guess.  But a larger problem is that once set for landscape, 
that printer is now stuck in it and I can't find a place in the normal 
printer configs, cups, kprinter, spadmin furinstance, that will switch it 
back to portrait.  I came across a story I wanted the wife to read, and from 
firefox, it printed the web story in landscape, with a somewhat larger than 
normal font.  So a 2 page story used 3 pages of paper.

So how do I go about, without running OOo again to change it, the default 
orientation of that printer?

Thanks Lisi.
