[Bug 125691] Re: firefox can't print in landscape mode

I forgot to mention that I'm on feisty and I was seeing this on two
machines.

But after reading some more related bugs, I tried some experiments. On
one machine, I tried printing from a self-built firefox (1.8 branch).
That firefox was able to produce a landscape .ps file -- but after
exiting and going back to feisty's firefox, that firefox, too, was able
to produce landscapes, where it hadn't been able to for several weeks.

On the other machine, I rebooted into etch, using a shared $HOME, and
tried from there. Etch's iceweasel was able to produce a landscape .ps.
Then I rebooted back into feisty, and now feisty's firefox could print
landscape too. And I could even switch between portrait and landscape
and both of them worked.

If I may speculate wildly (after reading bug #34112), could it be that
there's some file or dir under $HOME that firefox isn't creating right,
but once it's created, firefox behaves itself? This might also explain
why not everyone sees it. I don't have a .cups or .lpoptions.
