This may not be a problem, but something that was done by your
service bureau (I assume you were getting Linotype output from
a service bureau).

Typically, the paper that is run through a high-res imagesetter is
12 inches wide or wider.  To run an 8.5x11 across the paper instead
of down the paper saves paper and time.  Many programs offer a way
of doing this from inside the program (a paper type called something
like LetterTransverse, usually), but I believe that a section of code
has been distributed to some service bureaus that will make the
imagestter default to printing pages in this way.  This may be what
you are encountering.

Hope this helps.
