After fiddling quite a bit and passing through pages multiple times 
though my printer here is the solution:

For some reason, LibreOffice, at the point of print, will open the print 
window and choose the printer driver "pdf" for my Samsung printer, which 
will not allow any "landscape" formatted documents at all (even without 
columns). It will only print in "portrait" mode.

The fix is to change the driver to "PostScript" 
(Print->Properties->Device(tab)->Printer Language Type-> "PostScript 
(Level from driver))

I believe this is a problem with the system setup and less to do with 
LibreOffice. However, Acrobat Reader does print correctly in cases where 
landscape mode is not possible.

Thanks for all of the help and suggestions!

Cheers,

Marc
