SUMMARY
When printing with the Epson 9- and 24-pin printer drivers, if the printer output seems to be printing in the wrong orientation, check to see if the paper orientation corresponds to the paper height and paper width set from the Control Panel or Printer Setup.

MORE INFORMATION
With the Epson 9- and 24-pin printer drivers, the page orientation will automatically switch from portrait to landscape whenever you set the paper height to a size less than the paper width or from landscape to portrait whenever you set the paper width to a size less than the paper height. This is indicated by the blackened radio buttons under the orientation section of the Epson (9- or 24-pin) printer driver dialog box.

You can manually set the printer orientation to a setting that is opposite of what it was automatically set to by the Control Panel when the paper height and width is adjusted; however this will have no effect on the output. For example, if the Control Panel automatically set the orientation from portrait to landscape when you adjusted the paper height and width, and you manually changed the orientation back to portrait, the output will still print in landscape.
