This is important for my Brother QL-570 label printer. Labels are 29mm wide x by 90mm tall and are on a roll which processes them in Portrait format. I want to type in a page defined as 90mm wide and 29mm tall ie landscape format eg a typical address.

Mr A Smith, Chief Executive

If I export this as a pdf I can print the pdf to my Brother QL0750 label printer and specify for that print job the page should be automatically rotated to fit in the printer label. That works fine.

There seems to be no way to do that in Libreoffice Writer.

Samples of the various screens attached.
