Use the PrintDlg API function directly, specifying the PD_RETURNDC flag -- use
the handle of the returned DC in the call to GetDeviceCaps()...
PRINTDLG pd;
ZeroMemory(&pd, sizeof(PRINTDLG));
// initialize PRINTDLG
pd.lStructSize = sizeof(PRINTDLG);
pd.hwndOwner = Handle;
pd.nCopies = 1;
pd.nFromPage = 0xFFFF;
pd.nToPage = 0xFFFF;
pd.nMinPage = 1;
pd.nMaxPage = 0xFFFF;
pd.Flags = PD_RETURNDC;
if (PrintDlg(&pd))
{
GetDeviceCaps(pd.hDC, ...);
DeleteDC(pd.hDC);
if (pd.hDevMode) GlobalFree(pd.hDevMode);
if (pd.hDevNames) GlobalFree(pd.hDevNames);
}
This will reflect the changed orientation.

You wil need to render the image rotated -- changing the printer orientation
will not automatically rotate the image.
Good luck!
