I can reproduce it with your PDF in attachment #423966
In Adobe Reader with "Auto Rotate and Center" switched on
it is meaningless if "Portrait" or "Landscape" is selected.
If "Auto Rotate and Center" is switched off, the printout
is different if "Portrait" or "Landscape" is selected
but the printout is always what the Adobe Reader "Preview"
shows - at least for me with a HP LaserJet 1020 (same kind
of printer as your HP LaserJet 1018).
In Evince with "Auto Rotate and Center" switched on it is
similar behaviour.
Perhaps there is a bug in Okular?
Perhaps there is only a missing feature "Auto Rotate and Center"
in Okular?
Perhaps your particular PDF in attachment #423966
is somehow not correct which somehow confuses Okular?
At least I am confused because your PDF looks like "landscape"
but Adobe Reader and Evince seem to "think" it is "portrait"
(or is "portrait" perhaps only a hardcoded default
which doesn't matter because they also
use "Auto Rotate and Center" by default)?
But I am not at all a PDF expert to decide this.
FYI:
Regarding large grey pixels in case of direct PDF printing.
I can also reproduce it with my HP LaserJet 1020
when I use the "HPIJS" driver and your PDF.
When I use the "HPCUPS" driver, it looks better
but the I get the whole first page printed with black
background.
HP's HPLIP software provides their two drivers HPIJS and HPCUPS
also for the HP LaserJet 1018 via
/usr/share/cups/model/manufacturer-PPDs/hplip/hp-laserjet_1018-hpijs.ppd.gz
"HP LaserJet 1018 hpijs, 3.11.3a, requires proprietary plugin"
and via
/usr/share/cups/model/manufacturer-PPDs/hplip/hp-laserjet_1018.ppd.gz
"HP LaserJet 1018, hpcups 3.11.3a, requires proprietary plugin"
Often HPIJS works better than HPCUPS but sometimes it is the other
way round, see bug #630696
