Bug#542519: evince: landscape EPS views and print-previews OK, prints wrong orientation

Package: evince
Version: 2.26.2-2
Severity: normal

I have an EPS file (attached), which is prepared in landscape
orientation.  Document Viewer (evince) reads and displays it fine,
displaying it correctly in landscape orientation.

Going to the print dialog and clicking on Print Preview, the preview
again looks fine (shown in landscape orientation).  But when I then
press the print button, it prints out wrong.  The paper page is in
portrait orientation, the image is printed out across it
(landscape-wise) so that only part of the image appears on the paper.  
The horizontal x-axis should display 0 to 50, but only 0 to 40 fits
on the printed page.

I can also explicitly select Landscape in the Print Setup dialog box.
But in fact that does not actually fix the printed image.  It still
comes out misoriented.

So there appear to be two symptoms of the bug here, or maybe two bugs,

1) Print Preview does not reflect what is actually printed

2) Print Setup orientation is ineffectual.


Thanks,
Drew
