Hi Gary,

I'm sorry for the late reply, but I needed to upgrade my slightly outdated setup first.

FreeBSD wombat 13.2-RELEASE-p8 FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p8 GENERIC amd64
libreoffice-7.6.2.1

I'm also using CUPS for printing. I don't see your problem on this setup. A writer portrait document prints as portrait using the automatic orientation in the print dialog. Both the portrait and landscape manual settings are honored properly.

regards,
Markus
