In the Print Window, next to Presets, what are you set to? There's usually Standard, Last Used Settings and possibly custom settings. You might try experimenting here.
When printing from an email or other web-based source, I hit Cmd P and the print dialogue comes up with the landscape configuration as default. How do I get it to come up with the portrait configuration as default? This is driving me crazy!
