On Linux, you can print landscape if you do things just right. You have to first select your printer, then go to the paper tab and choose landscape. Then press print. Does that work on Windows as well? If so, this is the well known bug 115476. Well known, but tricky to fix.
Created attachment 74809 [details] results of Jon-Kare's suggestion tried your procedure and got a different incorrect result (is that progress?) see attached.
This has been fixed in the development version with the first jump to GtkPrintOperation. (Of course currently most of the other previously working print features are disabled.) This fix will be in the next major release.
