QTR-Quadtone RIP

I am having a problem...

QTR will automatically rotate the paper orientation 90 degrees from 
how I have it set in the GUI right after I hit the 'print' button.  
It is causing the printer to print the image in the wrong location on 
the paper and rotated incorrectly.  For some reason, I can't seem to 
get it to stop doing this.

I normally print with 17" rolls on the 4800, and have had no problems 
printing in this manner. However, I have some testing I want to do, 
and wish to avoid using the cutter and more media than is necessary, 
so I figured I'd use 11x17 cut sheets.

To that end, I cut a sheet to 11x17 and tried to print using 
the 'tabloid' size and also the 'custom' size with both paper 
orientations.  It seems that it is forgetting the orintation change 
that I put it to get the image on the paper in the proper orientation 
and location.

It does seem to remember the location changes, but not the 
orientation change.

Is this a bug, or is there something going wrong with my input?

Thanks,
