I forgot to mention that I'm on feisty and I was seeing this on two machines.

But after reading some more related bugs, I tried some experiments. On one machine, I tried printing from a self-built firefox (1.8 branch). That firefox was able to produce a landscape .ps file -- but after exiting and going back to feisty's firefox, that firefox, too, was able to produce landscapes, where it hadn't been able to for several weeks.

On the other machine, I rebooted into etch, using a shared $HOME, and tried from there. Etch's iceweasel was able to produce a landscape .ps. Then I rebooted back into feisty, and now feisty's firefox could print landscape too. And I could even switch between portrait and landscape and both of them worked.

If I may speculate wildly (after reading bug #34112), could it be that there's some file or dir under $HOME that firefox isn't creating right, but once it's created, firefox behaves itself? This might also explain why not everyone sees it. I don't have a .cups or .lpoptions.
