Actually I did not think that using WP was a big deal. I assumed that
it would be

The OMNI printer works just fine for most software. Where I get into a
problem is when
I use APL2 with Auxilliary Processor 211. Displaying the image to be
printed is normal
(i.e. the image looks fine on the screen). However setting the printer
(within or outside APL2)
for portrait or landscape has no effect whatsoever and the printer
produces an identical
page regardless of the setting. I hope that this is clear. By the way
APL2 does not seem to
have any print options other than those I tried out. (but I will look
again for the umpteenth
time at the documentation)
