We also have a 5N with firmware ver A.05.05 that prints with no
problems. As Mike stated,
create a file with the escape sequence for Landscape and enter in the
NPCONFIG file using  setup_file.
However, I setup three printer device numbers for the same printer.

1017   (network_address =  195.4.4.254)      # Pittsburgh  NPIT01
2000   (network_address =  195.3.3.254)      # COL Comp rm NCOL00
2100   (network_address =  195.3.3.254       # COL Comp rm
        setup_file      =  LJ5COND.HPENV.SYS)# cond print
2110   (network_address =  195.3.3.254       # COL Comp rm
        setup_file      =  LJ5CLND.HPENV.SYS)# cond print landscape
2001   (network_address =  195.3.3.253)      # col_coll2

So, when I want portrait, I use device 2000. To print landscape device
2110.
For portrait and condensed, device 2100.

Hope this helps.
