Resolved Print dialog in Sonoma missing orientation option in Pages

[pgolik]

When I try to print a landscape document from Pages, it still prints in portrait, and there's no way of changing the orientation in the print dialog (I looked in all the sections - it's not there). When I export the document to PDF and print from Preview, the option is there and I can print correctly. It's not printer specific (tried with three different printers), and I never had this problem in Monterey. Is this a known issue, are there any workarounds other than passing through a PDF copy each time? Screenshots of the print dialog in Pages and Preview attached.

Click on the button for "Layout". I bet it's in there. Right now it says "1 page per sheet". Presumably if you want landscape you'll want "2 pages per sheet"?

Go to File → Page Setup… in Pages' menu first, there you can change the orientation. I have noticed this in several other apps too (document-creating apps usually have this Page Setup… menu, document-viewing apps like Preview and non-document apps like Safari usually don't). The standard printing panel that Cocoa provides does not include orientation, developers have to specifically add it.

Look at the screenshot, the document is already in landscape.
[EDIT: solved]

Finally, I solved the problem. When I installed the printer, it was automatically detected by Bonjour and a system driver was suggested by Sonoma. This driver is broken, it ignores the orientation and paper size (defaults to portrain orientation and US Letter, even though both printer and Pages use A4 as default). Had to download the PPD from the manufacturer (and put it in the correct folder in /Library), remove the printer, and install it again, ignoring the automatically selected driver and manually pointing it to the correct PPD. Now paper orientation and size work the way they're supposed to. Hardly intuitive.
