Adobe Acrobat Reader for Linux cannot print

Today I tried to print a shipping label. It was created by the post office web site in a landscape orientation, but Linux Adobe Reader insisted on printing it in portrait.

I turned on "Auto Rotate and Fit" in the print dialog options, but it wasted another corrupt portrait page.

I switched orientation from Portrait to Landscape, keeping the auto-rotate option. It wasted another corrupt page.

Finally getting fed up I saved the PDF to a Windows machine, logged into Windows and opened the file in Windows Adobe Reader. It printed the correctly oriented landscape page right away even though on Windows the print dialog did not have orientation option at all.

Adobe, before you release - test 456!
