Landscape printing on portrait labels doesn't work #886

Describe the bug
I've currently purchased a Brother QL-500 label printer, which comes with those handy 29 mm x 90 mm labels on a roll along the short side (i.e. printing in portrait orientation, from the printers perspective). I did some label printing for testing purposes on other software (e.g. glabel) and it worked fine. However, when I created a label template in spoolman with said dimensions (in landscape orientation, of course), I couldn't get them to print in the right orientation, no matter what I chose in my printing settings.

To Reproduce

  1. Create labels with dimensions format 29 mm x 90 mm (landscape) in spoolman
  2. Hit "Print", choose the label printer, set paper size to loaded roll, set either "portrait" or "landscape" in the browser's print settings
  3. Print and get result as seen in picture

Expected behavior
As seen in the picture (bottom), the label should be printed out rotated by 90°. This works, if I print as PDF and print that PDF using any PDF viewer (even the browser).

Screenshots

As you can see on the picture, choosing portrait (the upper left one) obviously comes out as wrong as expected. When choosing to print landscape (the upper right one), the print still came out in the same orientation.

Spoolman Host:
Shouldn't matter, as it's a client side issue, but:

  • Installation type: Standalone
  • Installed version: 0.23.1
  • OS and Distro: CentOS 7, I think (it's on Uberspace)
  • Database type: SQLite

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Manjaro Linux
  • Browser: Chromium, Firefox
