This one again!  Well, there are various hacks for some printers; other
people will tell you about them.  But it's an imposition on the reader.
It's better to print the table in portrait, by rearranging the rows or
columns, shortening headings or using several lines for them, using a
condensed typeface or a smaller size, or wholly redesigning the table.

And don't forget \oldstyle for numeric tables; it's a real eyesaver.
