Using pageDialog() from the java.awt.print package,
when you specify a landscape PageFormat, this format
is taken into account in the pageDialog() window (landcape format selected !),
but not when printed !!! A portrait format is printed...

Source code as follow :

                 import javax.swing.*;
                 
                 import java.awt.print.*;
                 import java.awt.*;
                 import java.awt.event.*;

                 public class TestPageDialog extends JFrame implements Printable {

                   JPanel pane;

                   /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
                   public TestPageDialog() {
                     this.setTitle("Testing Page dialog in Landscape Mode");
                     this.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
                       public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {System.exit(0);}});


                     pane = new JPanel();
                     JTextField jtf = new JTextField("Hello, boy, this text needs to be long for this example to work (not fitting in a page) (landscape)");
                     pane.add(jtf);
                     pane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(600, 80));
                     this.getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
                     this.getContentPane().add(BorderLayout.CENTER, pane);
                     this.pack();
                     JButton printButton= new JButton();

                     printButton.setText("Print me!");

                     this.getContentPane().add(BorderLayout.SOUTH, printButton);

                     // for faster printing turn double buffering off
                     RepaintManager.currentManager(
                         this).setDoubleBufferingEnabled(false);

                     printButton.addActionListener( new ActionListener(){
                        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
                          PrinterJob pj=PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();

                          pj.setPrintable(TestPageDialog.this);
                          //Use these following lines to swap orientation
                          //PageFormat portrait = pj.defaultPage();
                          //portrait.setOrientation(PageFormat.PORTRAIT);
                          PageFormat landscape = pj.defaultPage();
                          landscape.setOrientation(PageFormat.LANDSCAPE);

                          pj.pageDialog(landscape);

                          try {
                              pj.print();
                          }catch (Exception PrintException) {}
                        }
                     });

                     this.setVisible(true);
                   }
