Re: Printing in landscape with CUPS

[Janyne Kizer <janyne_kizer ncsu edu>]

I guess this should have been obvious to me but even knowing this, I'm
not sure where to go

Both lp and lpr will print a postscript file the way that it was
oriented when the file was created.  Both lp and lpr will rotate a text
file properly.  We are using postscript printers though and we are
having problems printing in landscape from programs like Opera,
Netscape, and KOrganizer.
