The HP Deskjet PLUS is advertised as having an in-built Landscape
capability. We have several here and they are good printers however with
the Times Roman Collection and Helvetica Collection fonts we specified,
we cannot get anything other than Portrait. It seems that the only
Landscape capability is with Courier or some fixed-pitch font
cartridges.

I now have the font cartridge catalogue and it is rather misleading in
implying that proportional fonts can (maybe) make use of the Landscape
capability. 

We use LOTUS Manuscript which (it seems correctly) does NOT offer TR or
Helv in Landscape - so I suppose I have misunderstood the offer, but how
would you do TR or Helv in Landscape anyway on this otherwise good
printer?
