I haven't looked real hard at the code, but it is a fact that the
LN03R filter does *not* understand -Olandscape.  It is clear from the 
source code that it is written wrong.  (Sorry, probably not supposed
to make these public statements. Forget I said anything.)  I don't
recall -- either it is not supported in the code or it is always
overwritten.  In any event, if you want landscape specify -w132
and it will default to landscape.  I.E.,

	lpr -Pyourprinter -w132 filename

Now, this doesn't help if you are using the Motif Print Widget which
does not pass width but does pass -O values.  The only solution I
see there is to 1) write a front end that handles this (translates
-Olandscape to -w132) or 2) fix the LN03R filter.

I will submit an SPR...
