paper orientation

[D. Hugh Redelmeier]

I rarely use speeadsheets, so I'm not to good at them.

Often they are wider than they are tall.  Like the one I just did with 
Libreoffice.  So I do a print preview and get stuff falling off the right 
side of a portrait mode page.  I go to "format page" (on print preview 
still), tab "page" and select "Orientation" "Landscape".  The print 
preview looks just fin, so I press the "Print file directly" icon on print 
preview.  And my page comes out in portrait mode, with some columns 
missing.  Why?  What's the fix?

Note: it didn't take two pages to print the whole width.  Which makes me 
think that the spreadsheet really did think it was printing landscape.

The printer is a Brother DCP-7065DN connected to the LAN. The printer 
driver is proprietary, but fits into CUPs.
