I've seen this sort of thing before, and I have a theory which may of course 
be totally invalid.  If the document has the landscape property embedded in 
it, then printing to portrait will read the instruction and rotate the print 
as necessary, whereas printing a landscape-format image, for instance, doesn't 
have it embedded and you must do it manually, in the print dialog.  Does that 
make sense?
