Hi Mates at sumanagers...

Thanks a bunch for your helps to subject as above. Finally I found
the Log which recorded about the problem (It's been happened before).

SUMMARY:

Problem: How could I setup permanently a network printer as landscape
            printer ?? (without interve the hardware, it lets as default)

            Config: Solaris 5.6 running in E450/E3500 box
                     HP JetAdmin Utility for UNIX (Rev. D.02.10)
                     HP LaserJet 8100

Solution: 1. Define the networked printer in /etc/hosts
                # more /etc/hosts
                # ....
                # ....
                # 172.27.33.30 HP8100

            2. Define the spooler thru JetAdmin (for example HP8100L)

                   *************************************************
                   * MAIN MENU *
                   * HP JetAdmin Utility for UNIX (Rev. D.02.10) *
                   *************************************************

                  1) Configuration (super-user only):
                     - configure printer, add printer to spooler

                  .......
                  .......
                  .......

                  5) Printer Status:
                     - show printer status, location, and contact

            3. Make sure those above works fine

            4. Go to the /etc/lp/interfaces/model.orig/HP8100L

            5. Modify the file using vi, then type /$4

            6. insert into options="Landscape raw lpi8 fp12"

            7. insert into options="$ options $5"

I also attach captured image of those modification (HP8100.jpg)

(See attached file: HP8100L.jpg)

One thing you can do is install HP JetDirect SW on your Solaris box,
(HP moves it around on their website, you'll find it with a search)
set up the Solaris box as a spooler for the printer.

This will set up HP's filter script (/etc/lp/interfaces).

% lp -d printername -o landscape
% lp -d printername -o portrait
