Everything you've said indicates the annoying issues are related to the "Approach" application.
Of course. I can't do anything about Approach, but I can do somnething about CUPS-PDF.
Try one last time....
If "Approach" is specifically requesting Portrait it matters not if the "default" setting of cups-pdf is Landscape. The *specific* request overrides the *default*.
One last time. Approach automatically selects the default rotation and the default paper size from the print driver (CUPS-PDF). The default paper size is A4, but I figured out how to change it to Letter
You can only change the rotation and size back AFTER you first print to it. And it is suppose to save the new setting in the Approach file (.apr), but does not. It is a bug.
It is also bad programming, but nothing can be done about it because Approach is abandonware.
Yes, and the "default" settings aren't going to help.
You probably will have to modify /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf and uncomment and change the #GSCall line.
It may work to change -dAutoRotatePages=/PageByPage to -dAutoRotatePages=/None and add -c "<</Orientation 3>> setpagedevice". When making changes make sure the GSCall line has no line breaks.
This may work to force all outputs to be landscape.
