304694 - Landscape printing rotates the output, not re-laying out the output (as the preview shows)

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Matthew Johnson]

User-Agent:       Opera/8.0 (X11; Linux i686; U; en)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041007 Debian/1.7.3-5

The webpage contains two columns with a table in each. In portrait mode the preview matches the 
output, two long thin tables vertically down the page. In landscape mode it should produce the 
tables squarer, one on each half of the page. The preview shows this. However, when you print to 
file it actually has the same layout as the portrait (long & thin) but not aligned with the paper, 
instead it goes at right angles across the paper, with half oef the table going off the edge.

This happens in both firefox and Mozilla

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. View web page
2. Print Preview
3. Select landscape mode
4. Print

Actual Results:  
Preview is correct (square tables that fill the whole page and don't run off it) Actual print is 
incorrect (long thin table at right angles to paper, running off the edge)

Expected Results:  
Print the same as the preview

Screenshots of output available:
