setting orientation does not affect printer

I'm setting a pageformat of landscape.
However, it doesn't cause the printer
to print the page in landscape.
The page contents are in landscape but
the page is still in portrait.
here's a sample program.

Printing One Page with Graphics

Note that (0, 0) of the Graphics object is at the top-left of
the actual page, which is outside the printable area.
[EDITOR's NOTE: this is bug id 4179886]
In this example, the Graphics object is translated so that
(0, 0) becomes the top-left corner of the printable area.

When printing to a PostScript printer, your Printable's print method is supplied with either a PSPathGraphics which generates "normal" PostScript or a ProxyGraphics2D which generates a gigantic image of the page. In the PSPathGraphics case, the Graphic2D doesn't have the correct page transform set.

To repeat:

1) Make a Printable which does a bit of line drawing.
2) Print.
3) Print again, but using a PageFormat with landscape orientation

In the second case, you'll find that the page won't be rotated correctly.
