I very much doubt that your image has any orientation embedded in it.  I 
created a large image and tried it myself.  The print properties correctly 
told me that it was going to print to landscape.  Then it printed to portrait, 
losing part of the image.  I think this has to be an okular bug, since I 
frequently print to landscape in other applications.
