Personally, I wouldn't worry about the PPD file yet. I'm assuming you are using the recommended PPD file for your printer. There *should* be an option in the application to choose landscape or portrait printing. If you are printing from the command line then see Brian's excellent solution(s). Brian's post in this thread, that is. :)
Thanks to ALL!I am at work [not as a programmer] from 9am to 7pm and have not been able to read and answer your posts, no disrespect intended. I have also been trying to get info from the Chinese manufacturer, but the language barrier was impossible to breach.
From the command line - lpr -o portrait -o cpi=17 -P POS58 /var/www/receipt.txtFYI I tried to set the orientation from the printer setup. No luck. In desperation I thought that it was possible from the ppd files.
