Had a strange quirk with a Ricoh MPC3500 unable to print images in landscape. At first I thought it was just not printing images but after some testing it prints them fine in portrait.

Im using Mint Nadia and this ppd

I was hoping somebody might know if this is something that can be fixed in the PPD or is this a problem elsewhere in CUPS maybe. I haven't got another printer to test on right now.

UPDATE:

I found this on openprinting

Why do images always print portrait, but not landscape? changing the print command to either of following should work as well as moving to CUPS 1.1.18 sed -e 's/Orientation: Landscape/Orientation: Portrait/' | lpr sed -e 's/Orientation: Landscape/Orientation: Portrait/' | kprinter --stdin

but is seems to have a remedy for printing via lpr but I'm using GUI apps to print libreoffice etc. Also the document says Cups version 1.1.18 fixes this but i'm on 1.6.1
