Interestingly, if you call setPrinterJobProperty() and set the orientation
to lanscape in there, and then call getPageSetup(), that latter routine
shows the orientation as landscape. Pressing OK makes it print landscape.

If you hit cancel instead, even though it showed landscape, it prints portrait.
It looks as if setting the orientation has set the input to getPageSetup() but
that the result of that routine still defaults to the default page setup, i.e.
portrait. It is very strange.
