I recently installed OpenOffice 4.0 on an OpenSuse 12.2 Linux box. It was VERY annoying to have the same problem - not being able to print landscape on one of my printers that I had ditched LibreOffice for several years ago.
I found, however, a solution thanks to dimesio in the OpenSuse Forum which works for me, and may work for others. The printer in question is a Brother 5370DW, a monochrome duplexing printer.
The key is in the printer driver settings.
Open up a document, go to File=>Printer Settings=>Properties=>Device tab. Is the "Printer Language type" set to PDF? If it is, change it to Postscript (Level from driver) and see if your problems go away. Mine did.

Re: [Solved] OpenOffice 4.0 Landscape Print Problem - Soluti
I have been having this problem too, and solved it the same way - but this is a one off solution. It still defaults to A4 and PDF, so you have to reset it every time. I do it after pressing <CRTL+P>, but it's a similar procedure.
You can make it persist if you save it as a template, but I will have to open and re-save each and every template in writer and calc, which is tedious. Is there any way to do a system default change?

AOO 4.1.14
on various machines running PCLinuxOS (KDE desktop). It all began with StarOffice 5.2 - I've still got the disk!
