Run some of the manual regression tests requiring landscape page orientation.

I would suggest closed/java/awt/print/PrinterJob/TransImages/TransImages.java or
closed/java/awt/print/PrinterJob/PrintTextTest -- however neither of them would really work as a jtreg test. Fortunately, both of them have a useful main(): please use that, just javac/java etc.

You will see that page will not be printed landscape when required.
Comments
EVALUATION Actually it works fine if you use the Swing print dialog which uses the CUPS printing path. The problem is only via the native printing dialog which uses Quartz. It seems like the device is not being put into landscape mode. This is NOT a regression. Its broken on Apple JDK 6.
