I'm sorry but this is a Java[tm] bug and there is nothing we can do to workaround this bug. See http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6633656
* This bug seems to be fixed in Java[tm] 1.6.0_10. * If you cannot upgrade your Java[tm] runtime, apparently the workaround is to manually set the orientation for the printer: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java6/+bug/156191/comments/18 --- The problem is Java & Cups is not understand together. You can have it work by specifying the Orientation in every printers in Cups System -> Printing For each printer select Job Options tab and specify Orientation to whatever else instead of "Automatic Rotation". --- --- PS: I've CC-ed our answers to xmleditor-support at xmlmind.com as your questions and their answers are of general interest.
