How to set the printPaperOrientation

[Peter Alcibiades]

I don't think it works, then.  What I did was write the contents of the field
to a temp print file, then call a shell script which in turn calls a little
awk program which formats the temp print file into an output file, and pipes
the results to kprinter.  It works fine, though of course you don't get to
do styled text.  It is a bit ridiculous to have to go through these hoops. 
I also raised a bug on it.  Some of my printing issues appeared to be Debian
related, but I reproduced this one on both Debian and on Mandriva 2008.

I think, pending 3.0, that the only thing you can do is write your field to
an external file and process it for printing from that.  I didn't try
revPrintText, interesting to hear that it seems to have the same issue.

What happened with my attempts was that regardless of settings, it would
always print in portrait and always at the same size - thus truncating the
content.
