Yes, if a PCL document is formatted for landscape but has no command saying
landscape and the printer default is portrait, the text does get
oriented as portrait, with lines running off the
edge of the paper.

If a PCL document is formatted for landscape but has no command saying
landscape and the printer default is portrait, does the text get
oriented as if the page were portrait with lines running off the
edge of the paper?
