A bit more on this Landscape problem.

What works fine on my box:
* Printing landscape to printer from KDE3, e.g. kate, kpdf
* Printing landscape to printer from Qt3, e.g. Qt3 Assistant
* Printing landscape to PDF from Qt4, e.g. Qt4 Assistant
* Printing landscape to PDF from KDE4, e.g. kate, okular

What doesn't work on my box:
* Printing landscape to printer from Qt4, e.g. Qt4 Assistant
* Printing landscape to printer from KDE4, e.g. kate, okular

This suggests to me an issue with the interaction between Qt4 and Cups and my 
printer / driver.  So I'll ignore it unless I hear others see this problem 
too.

John.
