Well the answer is that the orientation which appears in the Properties
page available at print time is NOT the same as the orientation which
appears in the Properties of the printer object. You have to select
what you want from the print-time option ONLY.

This turns out also to be true in WineCS: you have to select the option
at print time from the setup menu; it matters not what is selected in
the WineCS printer menu.

The setting in the HP Laserjet printer configuration has no effect at
all on the output format.

I don't understand why this is the way it is, but that's the way
it is, based on extensive testing and waste of time and paper.

Recently I have started printing to my HP Laserjet on COM1 from
Quark running in WineCS. The printer object in Win3.1 is set
for landscape and this works fine. However subsequent print
jobs from OS/2 to the same printer also print landscape, even
though the OS/2 HPLaserjet driver properties are set to portrait.

In all cases the physical printer's configuration is set to
portrait.

I'd appreciate any insights into what processes are occurring
behind the scenes so I can twiddle the right knobs.
