Hi,

Some time ago, I switched from LPRng to CUPS. I thought I had tested
everything I needed so everything seemed to work fine, until I had to
print a postscript file (created with latex using the landscape
option, converted from dvi to ps using dvips).

When I open the file in gv, it is shown as landscape, but when I send
it to the printer, using lp -o landscape <filename>.ps, it is printed
incorrectly i.e.: it seems that cups sends the landscape output (as
seen in gv) straigt to the printer (where the pages are fed in
portrait); it seems that cups does not rotate the page 90 degrees to
adapt it to the way paper is put in the printer. When I browsed
through the ppd file (HP LaserJet 6L: foomatic + ljet4), I found
"*LandscapeOrientation: Plus90" but I do not know where | if it is
used.

Any idea what might be wrong?


P.S.: when I used LPRng, this worked fine (using the ljet4 filter from
the magicfilter package).
