My receipt printed landscape mode in a Argox P4 PPLZ, whereas it printed fine on a ESC/POS receipt printer.

Granted, the Argox is a barcode printer rather than a receipt printer. Where do I control the portrait and landscape attributes?

The can be configured in the printer driver or in the QZ Tray API.  Note, some documents -- such as PDF -- will auto-rotate if the software believes the document was sent with the wrong orientation.

var config = qz.configs.create("Printer Name", { orientation: 'landscape'});

I believe the P4 PPLZ was intended to interpret raw ZPL, so you may consider using that instead.

The ESCP/POS printer will be able to receive raw ESCPOS (not ZPL).

These techniques aren't compatible, but yield clear and fast prints and sometimes allow some advanced features such as cutting, cash-drawer kick-out, etc.

The type of document you are printing is often relevant, so if the above information doesn't help, a sample printout will help.
