I've compiled and installed the latest version of Gvim downloaded from
GitHub (see below).
Regretfully, the problem persists!
So ... how does vimrc tell Gvim to print in *landscape* mode, since the
*documented* method doesn't work?
Thank you,
Eric

Your options included portrait, but I thought you wanted landscape?
As I pointed out in the snapshot of the documentation on the site that
you sent me, it clearly states that
* "portrait=n" (please refer back to snapshot of that documentation
page in my previous email)
is the specified method to tell Gvim that landscape mode is the
desired print mode.
The bug was, that vim wouldn't set landscape orientation no matter
what you configured in printoptions in the generated postscript file.
Since you questioned the "portrait=n" method, is there a new
"landscape=y" method, or is there a different documentation page that
I should be referring to instead of the "vimhelp.org" reference?
Where did you find that URL?
That is the URL on the documentation page at
* https://vimhelp.org/usr_90.txt.html#usr_90.txt
under the heading "FROM A PACKAGE".
The ftp mirror has been retired.
Using the information obtained from
* https://github.com/vim/vim?tab=readme-ov-file
is the most recent version (v9.1.1163) uploaded to
* https://github.com/vim/vim/tags
a confirmed functional build?
Also, as a bit of feedback, since Unix is not exactly Linux, or
vice-versa, if the code is usable for both environments, may I suggest
modifying the references (in documentation) to "Unix/Linux" or "Unix
(Linux)" to eliminate confusion for people who think too literally
about such things?
Thank you for the above, and for your ongoing contributions to the
Gvim project.
Eric
