The 1st report of this bug was 7/2005 and it is now March of 2009 and this still hasn't been fixed.

In document properties I chose Letter size, landscape orientation. I have an HP Laserjet 4050TN, and the properties in it are Letter size (8.5 x 11") Portrait orientation (this is the default)

On every other program, the program overrides the default for the printer and changes the orientation, but not on Inkscape.

I can attach a document if you would like.

The only work around I can find is...
when one selects print, and the print dialog box comes up, there are tabs at the top. Choose Paper, then choose landscape. This will print a landscape page.

AND IT DOESN'T change the defaults for the printer. The defaults revert back to Portrait after printing.

Any idea when this bug will be fixed. 3.5 years seem to be plenty of time.
