My printer is named Cups-PDF.

Prior to modification this is the printer's info...

[root@f29bk ~]# lpoptions -p Cups-PDF
copies=1 device-uri=cups-pdf:/ finishings=3 job-cancel-after=10800 
job-hold-until=no-hold
job-priority=50 job-sheets=none,none marker-change-time=0 number-up=1
printer-commands=AutoConfigure,Clean,PrintSelfTestPage printer-info=Cups-PDF
printer-is-accepting-jobs=true printer-is-shared=true printer-is-temporary=false
printer-location printer-make-and-model='Generic CUPS-PDF Printer (w/ options)'
printer-state=3 printer-state-change-time=1556084401 printer-state-reasons=none
printer-type=8450124 printer-uri-supported=ipp://localhost/printers/Cups-PDF

then

[root@f29bk ~]# lpoptions -p Cups-PDF -o landscape=true

[root@f29bk ~]# lpoptions -p Cups-PDF
copies=1 device-uri=cups-pdf:/ finishings=3 job-cancel-after=10800 
job-hold-until=no-hold
job-priority=50 job-sheets=none,none landscape=true marker-change-time=0 
number-up=1
printer-commands=AutoConfigure,Clean,PrintSelfTestPage printer-info=Cups-PDF
printer-is-accepting-jobs=true printer-is-shared=true printer-is-temporary=false
printer-location printer-make-and-model='Generic CUPS-PDF Printer (w/ options)'
printer-state=3 printer-state-change-time=1556084401 printer-state-reasons=none
printer-type=8450124 printer-uri-supported=ipp://localhost/printers/Cups-PDF

So, now any file printed *without* specifying orientation will be printed as 
landscape.

The important thing to remember is "Application Defaults" will override the 
printer defaults.

An example of this is Thunderbird.  Its print dialog defaults to "Portrait" and 
will
override the default setting.
