Package: ghostscript
Version: 9.06~dfsg-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When printing a landscape document from any application such as Libreoffice writer, it is rotated to a portrait document.
>From ealier version until Wheezy, it was rotated by clockwise(CW). However, in case of Jessie, it is rotated by counter clockwise(CCW).
To print an address and name on an envelope, upper and bottom side are fixed. Many already formed documents are assumed as rotating by CW.
To keep conpativility and avoid unnecessary maintenance of documents, landscape document should rotate by CW.
I'm not sure the exact module, but I think pdftopdf owns the function which might be reacently rewitten.

But not now: :)

  lp -d test -o pdfAutoRotate=off -o fit-to-page -o landscape <PDF>

There is nothing to be gained here by contrasting the different
behaviours of pdftopdf on Wheezy and Jessie. The issue of rotation
in the original report has also been satisfactorily resolved

Closing.

Brian.
