Printing problem on HP9000, HPUX 10.20

All help is greatly recieved.
We have a new HP9000 running HPUX 10.20 and we need to print landscape
through a network to a HP Laserjet 4Si.
The -olandscape option to the lp command will not work as the print queue
is routed through another HP and then onto a VAX printer server. This means
we are not using rmodel which HP supports.
In fact none of the -o options work. We have discovered that using BSD
options e.g. -oBSDh to suppress the banner works does anyone know the BSD
option for landscape??
As another approach I have tried creating a script with the approppiate
escape sequences in as below:
#!/bin/sh
{
echo '^[&l1o'
echo '^[&l66p'
/bin/cat $@
} | lp -s
exit
I have tried various combinations using the printer manual, but always get
the text overunning to the next page.
Anyone any ideas???
Thanks in advance for any tips.
cheers,
Matt.
