Yes, and the "default" settings aren't going to help.
You probably will have to modify /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf and uncomment and change the
#GSCall line.
It may work to change -dAutoRotatePages=/PageByPage to -dAutoRotatePages=/None and add
-c
"<</Orientation 3>> setpagedevice". When making changes make sure
the GSCall line has no
line breaks.
This may work to force all outputs to be landscape.
Thank you!
