I recently overcame a similar problem with the help of a small public domain
program called GRAFTRAX.COM.  I don't know if it will work with the printer
you're using...I'm using a Roland PR-1012, which is Epson FX-80 compatible.  
What this program does is intercept int5 (print-scrn) calls, and writes the 
appropriate codes to lpt1.  It allows the user to choose portrait (right-shift-
print-screen) or landscape (left-shift-print-screen) orientation.  

If you cant find this program through your own contacts, feel free to try to
reach me...that, however, may be somewhat difficult, since, being a new user on this system, I havn't the foggiest what my e-mail address is.  If you can find
the address for Athabasca University's VAX 11/785 (Athabasca, Alberta), my loginhere is 'bryanc'.  

Cheers.
