What implementation do You use? If for example emTeX on PC
then you can tell your driver to print entire document without one
page in portrait orientation and then to print this single page in the
landscape orientation (for how to do it see dvidrv.doc). Disadvantage
is that headers/footers (namely page number) also will be printed
rotated by $90^\circle$. I avoided this by a trick with insertion into
the printer sheet of paper with page number already printed on it.
