Hy,
a few years ago I had the same problem when trying to print pages in
landscape mode from Word for Windows. The error was a bug in the postscript
code. Probably the printer driver produced postscript code with a wrong
instruction for rotation. (something like 'r 0 90')
This happenend only when I printed to file and sent the resulting file to the
printer. It did not happen, when I printed directly to the printer.
Neither Microsofts nor HP's hotline were interested in solving the problem. :-[
As far as I remember (I'm so glad, I don't have to work on DOS/WINDOWS-
machines any longer) the problem disapeared when I installed a new version
of the postscript printer driver for the Laserjet. Look at HP's server for it.
Hope this helps.
Bye
Franz
