There is no direct way to do that, that I know of. You ought to be able to
use win.metafile with width=11, height=8.5 and print the result in
landscape, or win.print(width=11, height=8.5) and select landscape from the
printer selection box (if you get one: I did when I tried).
Exactly what happens is rather OS and printer-driver specific: I was using
a networked PostScript printer (Adobe driver) on NT4.
