Data Printing Landscape to PCL 6 Printer

I've looked around and am able to print landscape to a PCL 5 printer with this command:

lp -o landscape -o cpi=20 -o page-right=30 -o page-left=30
-d <printer> <file>.

Which gives me a nice 200 columns.

But, when I send the same output and the same commands to a PCL 6 printer, it comes out as portrait.

What can I do to print landscape to a PCL 6 printer HP4250DN ?

Thanks.
