Known bug. When you change printer, the format is reset to portrait. So
choose printer first, then printer.

We do have html import, but it isn't perfect. It could be that gnumeric
doesn't understand that the page is html. In that case, saving it to
disk while giving it the extension ".html" would help. You could also
try copying the page to clipboard and pasting it into gnumeric. 

If gnumeric understands that it is html, but can't parse it, please file
a bug, and include a sample of the html.
