It's because you have either a user default or a system default for the
landscape option. (You mentioned you had checked the system default in
your message, and that it was set to Portrait -- but I will include the
method for checking that again here for the benefit of others reading
this thread.)

To see if it is a user default, run 'lpoptions -p queuename' -- it will
show the list of user defaults for that printer.  To change those
defaults, use the lpoptions command (e.g. lopoptions -p queuename -r
landscape').

To sef if it is a system default, start the
System->Administration->Printing tool and select the printer.  Go to the
Job Options tab and look at the Orientation option (under 'Common
Options').

The 'landscape' option is a true/false (Boolean) type.  '-o landscape'
is the same as '-o landscape=true'.
