Thanks to all who responded. The best one was the following (note
the little 'gotcha' that I goofed on at first, when you see ^{ below,
press 'CTRL-[')

Gary,
We have solved this problem by creating a separate printcap entry used
specifically for printing landscape. Here is a sample of our printcap, with
entries for both the portrait and landscape entries for the same printer
(it is an HP5, if that matters):
lp|lp0|0|CS1L-P|CS-HP|CSHP|CS1L-P|cs1l-p|cs-hp|cshp|cs_hp|CS_HP:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lperr:\
:lp=:\
:mx#0:\
:rm=cshp.lvc.edu:\
:rp=text:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd:\
:sh:
lp15|15|CS-HPL|CS_HPL|CS1L-L|cs-hpl|cs_hpl|cs1l-l:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lp15err:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:mx#0:\
:of=/usr/lbin/cshp.landscaped.filter:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd15:\
:sh:\
:xf=/usr/lbin/xf:
cshp.landscaped.filter contains the following:
#! /bin/csh -f
# LVC's landscaped filter
#
/bin/cat /usr/local/landscaped.string - /usr/local/reset.string |lpr -Pcs-hp
landscaped.string contains the following:
^[&l1ok3g5.45C^[(s0p16.67H
reset.string contains the following:
^[E
Hope this helps you out!!
Regards,
Sheryl
