How do I change print orientation from landscape to portrait in OS X 10.10.3 with a Epson Workforce printer?

more options

I tried changing the value in print.print.orientation from zero to one; and then from one to zero -- restarting each time. Neither works. I cannot explain how this problem occurred since I had been printing in portrait. When I fo to print in FF the print dialogue box shows a horizontal page with a number one in it. I cannot change this. There is no landscape/portrait choice area to select. I can print in portrait in Word.

The page layout is not set in Firefox when printing. It is set by the OS you are printing from (in this case Mac OS X). In the print dialogue, click the "Details" button. Then select portrait orientation.

Thanks for your reply. The "details" choices that appear are: Options, Appearance, Frames, Page Headers, Page Footers. Next to Options are 2 choices: Print Selection Only which is grayed out and cannot be selected & Ignore Scaling...etc. which can be selected. No where do I see a portrait/landscape orientation choice. Should I reinstall FF?

This isn't a Firefox issue, so reinstalling Firefox will not help. The print dialogue that comes up is Apple's print dialogue.
