Can you boot 14.04 (Trusty, current version under development) from a
live CD/USB stick and try whether the problem is solved in that version?
Please do a complete system update after booting this version and do not
reboot when being asked for after the update. Simply ignore or minimize
the dialog asking yo for rebooting. There were fixes in Poppler and
cups-filters done recently to remedy Portrait/Landscape issues.

Title:
Printing Landscape on Legal/Long Bond reverts to portrait size
Status in “cups-filters” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I have been having this issue since Ubuntu 10.04, currently using
12.04. I have a custom program in Wine that should print landscape in
long bond/folio size. The program prints in landscape but whatever
paper I choose, it stops the size of portrait size paper. I first
thought it to be a problem of Wine, so I was coordinating the bug with
Wine forum/bug tracker
(http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=54091), and for a while I
thought it fixed. But when I upgraded to 12.04, the problem came
back.
On a hunch I tried Ubuntu LibreOffice and it printed it exactly the
same way, landscape and portrait size. Googling I saw a lot of people
having similar problems with LibreOffice, but I thought they are
focusing on LibreOffice as the culprit, the same way I was focusing on
Wine as the culprit. I did try other apps, like the PDF writer.
Googling further would reveal other users with their own apps having
the same output on Ubuntu, Suse, etc.
I saw that some are focusing on their app (ie. LibreOffice, PDF
Writer, Wine, etc) or the ppd file of their printer. I also upgraded
my ppd file for my HP printer, same result.
I have tried all the apps with printers from Canon (ip2770), HP
(Deskjet Ink Advantage), Epson (lpt - FX2175) and results are all the
same.
Therefore, there is only 1 common to all of these, and it is Cups. I
haven't seen anybody really focusing on problem to be cups, I was
thinking maybe some Cups programmer/developer might be able to check
this out. Why landscape printing disregards paper size and sticks to
portrait.
Thanks.
