Printing problems: Landscape to Portrait

[alexandrevicenzi]

When I have a Landscape PDF and use Print button on pdf.js the PDF is printed in Portrait mode and in a lower size, not 100% for pages that are Portrait.

Tested on current on-line version, and 0.8.649. I'm using Firefox Nightly.

On my desktop, Firefox 31.0, default PDF.js, late Linux, PDF.js print and Firefox->File->Print uses the last default print settings for paper size and zoom.

If the settings in the print dialog are zoom=100% and landscape, it print OK.

The default, on no settings, seems to be "portrait" and "40%" (possibly automatic zoom)

Once I've set it to the correct settings repeated attempts to print PDFs keep "landscape" and "100%". Somewhere some settings are remembered, they just aren't initialised correctly.

On another desktop, Firefox 31.0, default PDF.js, out-of-date Linux, there is no option in the (gtk?) print dialog to set orientation or zoom. That might be a Firefox bug on earlier GTKs.

#2851 appears to be another duplicate of the same problem.

Confirmed this still happens in Firefox 34.0 on Ubuntu 14.10 (GTK+ 3.12.2). All pages are printed in the selected orientation (which is remembered, not detected). Landscape pages in a portrait document (or vice versa) are not rotated 90° to fit the paper, only scaled (or simply cut off, depending on settings).

The automatic landscape selection is tracked in #2851. The other problem mentioned here, automatic page rotation for printing, has been fixed in #8043.
