[SOLVED] Printer only printing in Potrait, even if select Landscape

I don't know when the issue occurred as I didn't use the printer much in last couple of months. Before that it has been working fine for couple of years.

Whenever printing anything, it is printing in Potrait mode, even if selecting Landscape. This results in a print on only half a page vertically, with half horizontal print being cut off.

I have tried LibreOffice and Okular, using different documents.

- LibreOffice writer: Setting ladnscape in Page Format and selecting from the print popup
- Okular: Going to printer setting and selecting landscape from there

Make and Model from CUPS page:

HP LaserJet p2015 Series pcl3, hpcups 3.24.4

Any ideas?

tl;dr, there're massive bugs in libcupsfilters after the switch from poppler to pdfio, you might want to downgrade that locally for the time being.

Thanks. Let me check if I have the previous version around.

Edit: Downgraded to 2.1.1-4 (from 2.2.1-2) and it's working fine.
