It does not.  :-(

However, I discovered I can go to the printer's defaults, and set 
landscape there, choose the "Use only..." setting in LO, and I get the 
landscape layout when the spreadsheet is printed.

What I'm taking away from this is, it is a problem with LO 5.0.x that 
comes with Mint 17.3 Rosa.

So I still need to go somewhere to find out how I install the current 
version after I have it downloaded.

Thanks for the help and suggestions, everyone.
