Think about using a batch print tool like
http://www.verypdf.com/app/pdf-print-cmd/
or
http://www.doc2prn.com/
I used the first one and implemented a Python script to create the command (it
prints more than PDF).
Some professional printer offer a webserver where you can upload the files.
Check this, too.
As you only want to print text files, you can use AutoIt to automate Notepad++
or the like.
Set the default setting of the printer to landscape manually before.
