As Owen says, the best way for this I think is to rotate the content of
your page. There is a certain trickiness to landscape orientation and
landscape printing in Scribus.

On Fedora, I have to use an alternative print command. If I orient the
page in Landscape, I then want to print Portrait for this to come out in
landscape mode.

For Fedora at least, I use 'lpr -P printername'

to print landscape I would have to enter 'lpr -P printername -o landscape'
