No, it's a common printout on paper which is affected. It's easy to
reproduce with a fully updated F17 (and as far as I know, it's the
same on F18):

1. Open Libreoffice Writer
2. Open a new document in landscape format
3. Write a few words
4. Klick on "print"

The result will be in portrait format, unless you switch the "printer
language type" to postscript, and not to PDF (which is the standard).

There's a lot of documentation on this one on the net, e.g. here:
