Correction - I did not mean it prints in landscape, it just appears to do so. The page is clipped as it prints portrait in the wrong dirrection according to our printer... I might solve it by redefining the paper to be a letter form flipped 90 degree, but how would I do this? I would in this case print landscape and would need to flip that too... Is it possible to make CUPS re-orient the dirrection of the paper in the paper tray?

I am btw. running Mandrake linux 10.0, quite default installation. Turining the paper in the printer itself is not an option as it would require changing all other computers...

Best regards,
