1st how /me poor man fixed this:

sed -e 's:landscape:portrait:g' -i okular/core/fileprinter.cpp || die "failed
sed"

In My Frustrated Opinion:

this seem to be a recurring bug, there are possibly two ways to workaround it
defintly:

a) try to be the smart gui: rotate every page to portrait before sending 
   it to the printer (hint the smart gui often is bashed by added complexity)

b) give the user the freedom to chose the orientation he desire, _and_ make it
   a persistant default, it's already possible to set "portrait" as print mode
   and okular will obey it but it neeed to be set _every_ time the user open
   such a document.

    -> FIX: sheet rotation in landscape case
    -> rotate the whole document / individual pages (on screen/print?)

kde bug #155696

using lp (cups 1.3.10) it print correctly with the command:
    lp -d"hp5" -o fitplot -o media=a4 file.pdf
    work fine _but_not_ when adding `-o landscape`

    filter used as seen in cups logs:
    "foomatic-gswrapper -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE 
    -sDEVICE =ijs -sIjsServer=hpijs -sDev..."
