Comment(by marisn):

 I fail to see how requirement to set page orientation at two places can be
 called a "feature". If I set page orientation to be portrait in QGIS I
 expect my printouts also to be portrait and not landscape or any other
 insanity.

 On my desk I have a pile of printouts made by students without deep QGIS
 background (still with moderate ArcGIS background) and most of them (~40)
 are bad ones like one I attached. Such "feature" has failed during enduser
 testing.

 If I take any other "sane" application, i.e. LO Writter, changing page
 orientation from portrait to landscape will also change also orientation
 of printout to match my page settings in LO Writter and I don't have to do
 extra hops to get printouts matching my document layout.
