Since the message stated troff/psdit, I have to assume that you are
running device-independent troff, since  psdit  is the
postprocessor that converts the output of
device-independent  troff  into PostScript.


Given all that being true, you can do something along these lines:

In your  troff  source file, up front somewhere, set the page length
and line length, like this:

	.pl  8.5i
	.ll  11.0i

Then run your  troff  just like normal.

	troff  options  sources  > troff_output_file

Then, you have to run  psdit  manually, since, at least in our
environment, there is no means to send the landscape flag to
the lpr command.  Run  psdit  manually:

	psdit -L troff_output_file | lpr options

This works fine for me.

If you're using old four-font troff, the equivalent filter is pscat.
