I resolved a postscript issue by applying two patches from the xerox.com site to my brand new xerox docucolor 242 with bustled EFI feiry X3eTY RIP (1 and 2)
Now I have a new problem specific to CorelDraw (both X3 and X4) printing to this RIP/printer.
Most likely you can fix this using Acrobat.
If I generate a pdf in corel, I can simply open it in acrobat and print to the same Xerox Fiery GUI driver and no rotation occurs. But that adds a lot of delay to the print process and really slows things down for me.
And it is possible to patch the code on the RIP. PowerRIP have done that. You could explain the issue to who supplied the RIP and ask for a fix.
)Xerox could also make my life easier by providing all the options in the Fiery GUI driver such as colorwise profiles and image shift in the pagemaker PPD which I'm using with corel as the workaround, but no luck yet in getting those options added (so imageshift takes 9 clicks on the machine itself insetad of a single click in the full featured xeorx gui driver.)
That's a driver that came with Windows.(?)
Use the Adobe one which allows you to input a specific PPD.

Now there might be an issue with this as the PS driver when it was last mentioned wasn't updated to Vista and above.
If options are a sign of quality it's a much better driver.
Actually the date of the driver alone indicates it's not Vista compatible.
You might try not using the portrait or landscape feature, use the custom page size and ignore any portrait and landscape warnings.
A good idea, but unfortunately when I print to the full-featured Fiery X3eTY driver without the pagemaker PPD file it doesn't give me the option of the standard postscript custom page side dialog box but instead when I select postscript custom size it intercepts and enters maximum values which allow 11 x 17 to be entered only one way.
P.S. just to add the reason I want to not use the pagemaker ppd file to get around this problem is that when printing from photoshop or acrobat and using the Fiery driver without the PPD I get not only an easier printer GUI to make changes, but also I get the colorwise screen which allows me to quickly set the output profile and also the image shift option like so: (attached)
If I use the pagemaker PPD so the page doesn't involuntarily rotate in corel, there is no place to input image shift and the color settings are scattered and not nearly as well defined (e.g. no names on color profiles which makes it kind of hard...)
