It has always been there.

No. You do not rotate the image your self. The Driver will handle that. All
that you have to do is pay attention to the page size returned by the page set-
up call. i.e. The page for a US letter page will be 11 x 8 1/2 rather than 8
1/2 x 11. The reson for the PrGeneral call is for specific applications that
wanted to special case land scape printing. I see very little reason for it.
