The solution works for me. Thank you. Though the necessary option, 'nopdfautorotate fit-to-page' might be a challenge for someone in userland like me to figure out.
I should also mention again the problem arose with Stretch, not with Jessie. These labels printed as desired in Jessie without this option. Thanks again.
