Your file didn't go through, although I have it (as moderator).
I tried printing on an ordinary printer and it was always 90° rotated,
even with two other java products.
What worked is this code:
PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
job.setPageable(new PDFPageable(document,
Orientation.PORTRAIT, false, 0));
if (job.printDialog())
{
job.print();
}
Don't know if this works with your printer. I remember having heard such
problems before.
You could also try replacing the 0 with 200 or 300.

Hi,
As I have done many times before without any problem, I am trying
to use the PrintPDF command line tool to send a PDF (see attached
file) to a printer which is a Zebra ZT230. It is a label, so I
generated a media sized PDF file using PHP’s ezPDF like I do since 10
years, configured the default settings for the Zebra printer in
Windows Server 2012 (see screenshot below) and used pdfBox v2.0.2
(also tried v1.8.10). The label is 4 inches wide x 2 inches long, but
it prints like it’s rotated 90° counter-clock-wise and on the right.
Here is what I’ve tried so far before I reached your community.
1.I printed the PDF directly through Acrobat, it printed Well.
2.I tried to generate a label that is rotated to match the behaviour
of the printer (rotating the PDF file by 90°), it acted as if I
rotated it by 180°, it’s still not displaying the content with the
good orientation on the media.
3.I changed the definition of my PDF file from 2 x 4 (with portrait
orientation) to 4 x 2 (with landscape orientation), same result as #2
4.Modified the default printer settings from “Portrait” to
“Landscape”, no difference at all
5.Changed the media size in the default printer settings from 4 x 2 to
2 x 4, no difference at all
So, I’m pretty sure I’ve ruled out my PDF generator from the
equation (+ I’ve been using it to generate labels like these for years
on Windows Server 2008 and CentOs 7 servers), I also know from
printing through Acrobat that the printer behaves well and that the
printer settings are OK. I really don’t know why pdfBox could be
working differently on this machine but it looks like the only likely
option left.
Is there anyway I could force some settings or orientation through
pdfBox using the Command line tools or do you have any ideas for a fix
I could try?
Please help me, I’ve struggling with this for hours and I’m getting
pretty frustrated although I made sure to rule out as much
possibilities as I could think before I contact you.
Many thanks,
