No idea how to tell CUPS-PDF to print Landscane by default.
My printer is named Cups-PDF.
Prior to modification this is the printer's info...
[root@f29bk ~]# lpoptions -p Cups-PDF
copies=1 device-uri=cups-pdf:/ finishings=3 job-cancel-after=10800 job-hold-until=no-hold
job-priority=50 job-sheets=none,none marker-change-time=0 number-up=1

then
[root@f29bk ~]# lpoptions -p Cups-PDF -o landscape=true
[root@f29bk ~]# lpoptions -p Cups-PDF

printer-state=3 printer-state-change-time=1556084401 printer-state-reasons=none

So, now any file printed *without* specifying orientation will be printed as landscape.
The important thing to remember is "Application Defaults" will override the
printer defaults.
An example of this is Thunderbird. Its print dialog defaults to "Portrait" and
will
override the default setting.
