Comment 18 for bug 166678

I can confirm this bug, too.

For me changing the orientation in system-config-printer under 'job options'/'orientation' (either on the client or on the printer server) doesn't help. (fwiw, this is on a HP officejet 5610 all-in-one).

Thanks for raising the importance: though it might seem like a trivial problem, it looks very embarrassing/unprofessional. Also, the workaround (unless I'm missing something) means you have to rotate the content, change the page orientation and align them properly in 3 separate steps. Quite a hassle, especially if you want to undo the changes after printing.
