I think the easiest way to do this is to create a new printer which
defaults to landscape, and then do

 dev.print(win.print,printer="local landscape printer name")

I think it's unlikely we'll add this to win.print(); there are just
too many options in Windows printer drivers, and it's fairly easy to
set them using the Windows dialogs.
