This depends a lot on your printer. Inkjet printers (which often output
pages face up) have a tendency to rotate landscape pages the "wrong" way;
lasers usually get it right (at least mine historically have). It depends a
lot on the printer driver: the original driver for my old DeskJet 820Cse
rotated landscape pages the wrong way; an updated driver got it right.

G'Day All,
Curiosity has finally got the better of me:
When I read printed books/manuals I sometimes find landscape pages. To
read those pages I rotate the book clockwise.
If I print a Word document that has landscape pages and if, immediately
after printing, I put a staple in the top left corner - I then find that
the
landscape pages require ANTIclockwise rotation to be read.
What I have to do, before stapling, is go through the printed document
and manually rotate all landscape pages by 180° in order to achieve a
result similar to a standard printed book.
What am I missing?
