Document that cannot be printed in portrait orientation.

I cannot find a way to print the attached document in portrait orientation.  The page property is set portrait (Format->page->page), but it prints in landscape anyway.

There is a separate bug filed to solve that problem.  This enhancement request would be to unlock the orientation in the File->Print->Probperties dialog and make it control the printing orientation.  Or else in the File->Printer Settings->properties dialog, or both.  As things stand, those properties are greyed out and immutable.

Print preview is landscape.

Print preview is portrait for me.

Intrigued by non-confirmation by y'all, I removed the LibreOffice from the Xubuntu 14.04 repos, and now have
Version: 5.1.0.3

This version has the document in portrait in print preview, but seems stuck in landsace in the thumbnail that shows when click File->print, and there's no way to change that (including Properties).  It prints landscape.

The actual printer is an HP Color Laserjet 2025 with duplexer.  In software that allows changing the orientation, it prints as directed.

This looks like a problem with the document from Bug 98114 and not general enhancement request. 
I'm aware of https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45971#c11 but I think it' wrong.
