The printer doesn't pull paper from a different physically oriented tray when you
request landscape.

Landscape is just portrait rotated by +/- 90 degrees. And vice versa.
Ultimately a transform is being applied to rotate the rendering so rather than
changing the width and height instead rotate by 90 degrees.

I'd have to hunt it down but somewhere .. some case .. some platform in the
printing code I recall we do this for cases where the platform doesn't support
an orientation -  REVERSE_LANDSCAPE.
That might help a little but I think that may be in shared code ..
hmm .. looks like macOS code doesn't attempt to support that mode at all.

Something else that could be fixed via a transform

I am not 100% sure it can still be done solely in macOS specific code,
It may need to touch something in the macOS CPrint* java classes
if the Java-level graphics transform is what would need to be adjusted.

But it could perhaps be handled by specifying a transform on
the PrinterView (JDK's subclass of NSView)

I don't have any more specific pointer than that .. I'd have to go try it .. which
isn't on my radar ..
