Just to add a bit into the mix, I am finding the same doesn't-want-to-print-
landscape in LO Writer. This is with Linux Mint 16 Cinnamon, 64-bit and a 
Brother HL-2270DW laser printer. (The driver is the built-in CUPS driver.) 
Funny thing is, it printed landscape fine until recently! Turn the file into 
a pdf, open it in Document Viewer (i.e., Evince), and it prints in landscape 
just fine. Perhaps the same would be true of Calc creations, as well? 
Changing the .config user file in order to force the creation of a new one 
achieved nothing, for me.
