to Let's Print Droid

Hello, We've added Let's Print Droid to a tablet in hopes of using it to send PDF images of UPS labels to an Infoprint 1892 laser printer. The app sends jobs to the printer just fine: its test page prints ok and our labels also arrive.

However, the location of the label output is not what we expect. The labels are 4x7in and we're printing to letter media (8.5x11in).

- When we do this from a PC, the label is printed landscape mode at the top of the sheet... so we can just fold in half and insert into a clear stick-on mailer.
- When we do this from Let's Print Droid, the label is printed portrait mode dead center on the page. It doesn't matter whether we specify portrait or landscape mode, RAW or PDF output mode, even page size (we tried specifying A5 & A6 since those are close to the source size), or any combinations thereof.

We suspect Let's Print Droid is just sending the PDF as-is and the printer is simply doing what it thinks is best... and it is guessing wrong.
