I also find this using the RISCOS drivers and RiScript. If you start with a
landscape page it is printed in portrait with the contents rotated by 90
degrees. This means that text, for example, is printed in the normal
orientation of the printer ie horizontally in portrait. This is perfectly
acceptable when printing to paper, but when printing to PDF or Draw it will
come out as portrait with the contents rotated by 90 deg. Riscript allows
you to rotate the image on the screen but always exports in the original
rotation. Hence the possible need to rotate the image before or after
importing to other applications.
