Assuming your correct, how do you propose I print the document
in Okular?
If I manually select 'landscape' mode in the 'Printer-Properties' dialog.
The image is printed across the page.
If I manually select 'portrait' mode in the 'Printer-Properties' dialog.
The image is printed across the page.
If I just select Print from the File menu (leave all settings as default),
The image is printed across the page.

If the document has 'portrait' property embedded in it, than apparently
there is nothing I can do manually to override that.

Its not a major problem for me, I have other utilities I can use to print
the document correctly (XFig, Gimp, Display).

Whatever happened to KPDF and Xpdf?
