a) In any version of LibreOffice in the print dialog or in "printer options" 
you can temporarily override the default print job format for that document for 
the current session. That won't "stick" permanently (it's not supposed to).
b) In spadmin it *should* have been possible to override the print job format 
permanently an individual printers as a workaround. That didn't work and is now 
fixed on master as 08597f2897e5ac752147c8f2c4a91bb557ed4580
b) In LibreOffice 4 under tools->options->print there is now an additional 
checkbox to disable using PDF as the default print job format for all printers 
as 59b98580bfd70205a9ebdb0ba67e74225d875b43

Working under the assumption that the problem is not in our PDF output,
but instead is due to probably multiple different bugs in probably
multiple pieces of the cups stack, this is the best I think we can do on
our side.

See
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_printing_problems#Finding_where_the_problem_lies
for a useful guide to finding what component in the cups stack that
might be causing your individual problems in order to track down the
root causes.

If anyone has any evidence that there really is a fault in our PDF
generation then please open a new bug for that.

Title:
  Libreoffice will no longer print landscape page

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Since update yesterday, landscape pages print as portrait printing to
  a Brother DCP 135C. Print preview shows a landscape layout, but output
  from printer always comes out as a portrait page. The problem did not
  occur two days ago, and does not occur when printing from other
  applications (eg pdf viewer).

  WORKAROUND: Export the file as a pdf and print that using the pdf
  viewer.

  [IMPACT]

  Landscape-formatted documents from LibreOffice get printed rotated and
  cut off on all printers using Ghostscript's built-in drivers
  ("pxlmono", "ljet4", "hl1250", ...), perhaps also with other drivers.

  [TESTCASE]

  Print the attached file test.pdf via

  lp test.pdf

  on a printer using one of Ghostscript's built-in drivers (not CUPS
  Raster). Result is the content being rotated by 90 degrees and the
  rightmost portion of the content cut off. The same job comes out
  correctly when the proposed package is installed.

  [Regression Potential]

  Patch is simple, there should be no regressions.
