anyone know of a canon printer that can print landscape duplex
properly?

Define properly. Is there something improper about how you've seen
something work? Are you printing from an application though the print
driver, or are you using ez photo print.

I don't use duplex mode, though I do have some double sized HP
brochure paper.

The advertised application for duplex photo printing is making a photo
album with less sheets, and as such I "imagine" that side b might be
rotated 180 to compensate for turning the page, but this is just a
wild guess.

I don't know a d*mn thing about Canons, but the HP duplexer attachment
for some printers is like that. The software lets you choose whether
your pages are to be printed as if in a book (short edge for landscape),
or as if in a tablet (long edge in landscape). The software then
automagically orients the information going to the printer to accomplish
it. Assuming the Canons work the same way, if the OP means that his
Page B isn't oriented the way he wants it, I would blame his software,
not the printer.

Well, I'm resuming that side B is rotated 180 from what he wants it.

I'm looking at the printer properties on the mp830. The options are
VERY limited. You can select borderless and define the staple side
Long/short Left/right. I presume staple is how you define how you
want B oriented, but to be honest, this is NOT a feature I use. If it
is, it's VERY cryptic.

Easyphotoprint bypasses the driver and communicates directly to the
printer. A bit of a no-no as far as design goes.

That's correct
I have a Canon ip4200. Duplexing in Portrait is fine, however
duplexing a landscape page produces side B rotated 180 from what it
should be

The only way I can sort it is to print one side, manually take the
pages out and rotate. Kinda defeats the purpose

It appears to be a software problem

I'm not going to pretend that Canon has great drivers with clearly
defined print options. However, have you tried changing the staple
side?

But as someone else already said, rotate B 180 before printing.

I've not tried duplex in landscape mode, so as a result I have NO clue
what the printer does.
 
Got it sussed at long last
Landscape Duplex Print Setting
Short side stapling Left

Portrait Duplex Print Setting
Long side stapling Left

Thanks for the kick start
