Sorry, Wolfgang, I meant to send to the list. In running opensuse 11.0, displaying the pdf using acroread and it displays those pages landscape (which will probably print landscape). To me the real question is, where they scanned in or created landscape or portrait ? Duaine Wolfgang Rosenauer wrote:

Firefox does not print correctly portrait pdf files with embedded landscape pages. An example is the file http://dfeustel.home.mindspring.com/ece-equations.pdf. This paper is portrait style, but pages 20-25 have tables in landscape format. GV (called by firefox) prints the tables in portrait mode, truncating the right side, and then dies with a printer error (PC XL error - illegal media size). Also, there are lines of what probably is PostScript or PDF printed on top of the tables.
I just discovered that Firefox running on Fedora 9 displays the tables of equations on pages 20-25 in portrait mode, not landscape mode as in Firefox running on OpenSuse. So it looks like there are some pdf-related bugs in the OpenSuse version of Firefox.
Hmm, no. I'm quite confused how you print a PDF from within Firefox at all since Firefox can't decode PDFs so it's all about the other application (gv?) or your printer setup.
