I had a similar problem to this and traced it down to the HPLIP stuff. I fixed it by - opening the HPLIP toolbox - choosing my printer - going to print settings - changing orientation to portrait
For some reason HPLIP had chosen reverse landscape for my newly installed printer. My guess is that firefox and others do not send a "use portrait for this page" control signal if they believe that the default mode is portrait. Note that this HPLIP setting is independent of the CUPS setting. I'm not sure how to two settings work with each other. -- some apps print in landscape,and badly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112391 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
