I'm sorry. I worded the problem poorly. -P-l (landscape) works fine. No problem there. It prints in landscape.
The problem is, when I use -P-l it kills the hyperlink code you gave me. So, -P-l changes the document from portrait to landscape as expected. But the hyperlink code no longer works. Thanks!
