12 Yes I do. I select landscape and get portrait coming out. :-(
13
14 Also, in a full KDE desktop I select the hplip tooltray applet (or whatever
15 its called) and also change in there the settings to print landscape.
16
17 Still no success.

19 Only in libreoffice I can print in landscape a test page, after I change the
20 libreoffice print manager settings, but what I want is to print one of the
21 google maps in landscape from a browser and can't do it! Even when I print in
22 pdf from the browser (the pdf is landscape) I can't thereafter print it as
23 such. It keeps coming out as portrait.
24
25 I stopped printing for now because I'm running out of paper! :-/
