CentOS release 6.8 (Final)
I've been able to print to this printer with no issues, until this
evening. When I tried to send a print job the job just sat in the print
queue. I killed the job and deleted the printer, then re-installed the
printer using the Printer configuration tool found under
System/Administration/Printing.
I've tried all manner of settings, both on the Libre Office document and
in the Printer configuration tool. Now I can print to the printer but I
cannot get the printer to print in Landscape orientation. Only portrait
orientation comes out no matter what settings I choose.
I've done a bit of Google work but I find nothing that appears
applicable to my specific issue of not getting landscape prints no
matter what setting I choose.
The HPLIP web site says the latest version of hplip for my machine, RHEL
6 because they apparently have not heard of CentOS, is
hplip-3.16.9_rhel-6.0.x86_64. CentOS does not have this version
available in the repo.
What's a guy to do? Windows should be this hard to work with, but not
Linux.

Do NOT delete it.

I'm also on CentOS 6.8 but 32-bit using the same hplip version. Normally I do printer setup with hp-setup, then use the web interface to cups to add it in to that environment. Also, add hp-systray to your startup apps if you haven't already.> > I've tried all manner of settings, both on the Libre Office document and > in the Printer configuration tool.

To get any landscape output I have to create a pdf of the document and then print that.
