Hi Duncan,
Thanks very much for your reply. I am quite stuck on this!!

I'd tried only this simple change to the default invoice.:
\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{tabularx}
%\usepackage
[letterpaper,top=2cm,bottom=-3cm,left=1.1cm,right=1.5cm]{geometry}
\usepackage
[a4paper,landscape,top=2cm,bottom=3cm,left=1.1cm,right=1.5cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\pagestyle{myheadings}
\thispagestyle{empty}
...
Having examined your header, I added:
\usepackage{rotating}
However that has made no difference.

Could you explain how to do this, please?
I have this in /usr/local/sql-ledger/sql-ledger.conf:
# available printers
%printer = ( 'HP Laserjet 4 - landscape' => 'lpr -o landscape -P
HPLaserJet5M',
'HP Laserjet 4' => 'lpr -P HPLaserJet5M',
'Canon IP3000 on funf' => 'lpr -P iP3000',
);
But this does not work for my ps or pdf invoices.
After some experimentation it transpires that `lpr -o landscape`
works great with plain text, but not with postscript documents - all
that seems to happen is that a sheet of A4 is printed in portrait
format, with the image halfway down the sheet and falling half off
the page. It seems that I have the problem mentioned here: <http://
marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=redhat-list&m=103340134024139&w=2>. The CUPS
manual says that "-o landscape option will rotate the page 90 degrees
to print in landscape orientation" <http://www.cups.org/doc-1.1/
sum.html#4_1_2> but it does not mention that this does not work with
postscript documents.
The only things I can think right now are to:
1) do an entire .tex layout in portrait with all the text at 90-
degrees. I have no idea id this is possible?
2) have a virtual printer (I think this could be done with Bash &
some pipes?) that rotates a postscript or pdf document through 90
degrees before printing it.
Any other ideas?
TIA for any help,
Stroller.
