They do indeed. On Jessie "NOMURA" is at the upper right-hand corner of
the page; on Wheezy it is at the lower left-hand corner. Correct?
It is possible to export your .odt document to a PDF, sample.pdf. Then
/usr/sbin/cupsfilter -m application/vnd.cups-pdf -o landscape sample.pdf > out.pdf
will process it through pdftopdf and out.pdf can be viewed. That's on
Jessie, The "Page rot:" line from running pdfinfo on out.pdf has 270.
So it appears there is a 270 degree rotation clockwise, not a 90 degree
anti-clockwise rotation.
Processing sample.pdf as above on Wheezy shows a 90 degree clockwise
rotation.
To complicate matters: there are two options which can give "landscape":
-o landscape
and
orientation-required=4
On Jessie they produce the same outcome. On Wheezy there is a 180 degree
difference in the orientations.
Whether the difference between Wheezy and Jessie is a result of changes
in CUPS or cups-filters is unknown (to me) so I have included a CC to
the cups-filters maintainer.
You might be able to overcome your problem with "orientation-required=5"
in an lpoptions file.

Brian.
