One last time. Approach automatically selects the default
rotation and the default paper size from the print driver
(CUPS-PDF). The default paper size is A4, but I figured
out how to change it to Letter
You can only change the rotation and size back AFTER you first
print to it. And it is suppose to save the new setting
in the Approach file (.apr), but does not. It is a bug.
It is also bad programming, but nothing can be done about it
because Approach is abandonware.
Yes, and the "default" settings aren't going to help.
You probably will have to modify /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf and uncomment and change the
#GSCall line.
It may work to change -dAutoRotatePages=/PageByPage to -dAutoRotatePages=/None and add -c
"<</Orientation 3>> setpagedevice". When making changes make sure
the GSCall line has no
line breaks.
This may work to force all outputs to be landscape.
