I think you can fix this problem by editing the enscript prologue file
that should be in /usr/lib/transcript/enscript.pro.  There is a line in
there that looks like this:

	/Landscape{90 rotate 0 -15840 translate}def

You should change it to look like this:

	/Landscape{-90 rotate -15840 -3600 translate}def

Note: enscript uses a strange coordinate system and in fact places the
origin off the page when in Landscape mode, but at least experimentally
the above code seems to do the trick.  You might need to hack the
translation components if it isn't working for you.  As a reference,
the number -15840 is exactly 792 points (the long edge of an 8.5"x11"
page) multiplied by the enscript scale factor of .05.  The value -3600
is (792-612) / .05 for obscure reasons (the aforementioned off-page
condition).

For "normal" PostScript code on a letter-sized page, you would see
either

	90 rotate 0 -612 translate
or
	-90 rotate -792 0 translate

to get you into Landscape mode in either orientation.

Good luck.
