lprng/hp laserjet/landscape printing issue

[bclark4444]

Current Setup:
Oracle Unbreakable Linux v4 (aka: Redhat ES Linux 4.0 with Oracles jpgs during boot).
LPRng v 3.7.4 (used for compatibility with legacy linux built custom programs and reports)
HP laserjet 4050 ( network printer at local IP 192.168.10.207 ).

Issue:
For the life of me, i just cannot figure out how to print a landscape PDF to this printer. It always seems to want to print it as portrait. Ive pasted my printcap file below with 3 test setups for the same printer. Here is what i have tried that hasnt ended in an error, but still prints portrait.

lpr -P test3 -Z landscape landscape_printer_test.pdf

lpr -P test21 -Z landscape landscape_printer_test.pdf

lpr -P test3 -Z ORIENT1=true landscape_printer_test.pdf

lpr -P test3 -Z ORIENT1=false landscape_printer_test.pdf

As a side note, i could get it to print landscape (sort of) using a2ps, but then it actually printed 2 portrait pages side-by-side on a single physical page in landscape orientation. We need a single landscape oriented page.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks

maybe i should look at a plan-B. Is there a way to edit the PPD (laserjet.ppd) so that it always prints in landscape? If i can do that, then i can setup a dedicated print queue for only landscape printouts.
