If you can get your spreadsheet to output to a file, instead of directly to
the printer, it can be a simple matter of using the cut program.  It is
standard with UNIX.  That and some shell scripts should take care of your 
problem.  

If you truly want to print out sideways, then you will have to do a great deal
of work.
