[cups.development] output orientation

[Nigel Pegram]

I have nearly finished a cups driver for Seiko-Epson label printers
(well the SLP100 I have anyway).

One item is problematic.

I can get the bitmap output to the printer, but regardless of the order
of the page dimensions in the PPD (portrait or landscape) the text is
always printed across the label, rather than along its length. That is,
I can cause the page region to go along or across the label, but the
text does not follow it, the text always goes across the label, never
along.

Now, I can manipulate the bitmap in the driver to achieve the end I
want, but was wondering if there was something I could include in the
ppd that would let me have the page landscape with the text landscape as
the normal orientation.

The PPD is very simple and is below.

TIA
Nigel
