How many printers do you have setup on your system? Are they local or networked printers?
A lot of old dos programs printed directly to port LPT1 ....go into your windows printers.. Is port LPT1 setup to print to any of your current printers already. If so see if you can change that printers defaults to
Possibly you can setup a fake port LPT1 and direct it to a different printer...Then change that printer to print in something other than landscape.
