I believe I know what you're talking about. Because MacOS attaches page layout information to the *document*, as opposed to the application, the normal Orientation parameter does not do the job. What I do is create a parameter form for each landscape report, with a message to the user that they must change the orientation using Print - Setup. Since all of my reports are called from Forms, I can use Get_Application_Property to determine the operating system so that Windows users don't need to see the parameter form.

Hope this helps!
