Yes I do.  I select landscape and get portrait coming out.  :-(

Also, in a full KDE desktop I select the hplip tooltray applet (or whatever 
its called) and also change in there the settings to print landscape.

Still no success.

Only in libreoffice I can print in landscape a test page, after I change the 
libreoffice print manager settings, but what I want is to print one of the 
google maps in landscape from a browser and can't do it!  Even when I print in 
pdf from the browser (the pdf is landscape) I can't thereafter print it as 
such.  It keeps coming out as portrait.

I stopped printing for now because I'm running out of paper!  :-/
