(In reply to Mats Palmgren (:mats) from comment #6) > BTW, the example on the right in your screenshot has wrong orientation? Yeah, rotating the sheet 180deg there would be fine; I haven't tested to see which makes sense. I think this is just a question of "which edge of the paper comes out of the printer first", which I haven't thought about for the rotated-page case but which I assume is an answerable question. Chrome's behavior here (at least in Print Preview and print-to-PDF) makes sense to me and matches my mental model, FWIW. We're giving the user 2 portrait-sized pages, with those pages themselves oriented in a "portrait" view for easy reading, stacked in the way that makes the best use of the available area on the sheet & requires the least-severe scaling factor. (In this case, for US Letter and I assume also A4, that means printing landscape-oriented sheets of paper, with the content rendered into side-by-side portrait "cards").
