Dwayne, did you clear the felix-cache? The steps are in the update technote, to help with other issues related to the htmltopdf package. It may help with yours. I've confirmed landscape does work after the update, a bug fix it specifically addressed as you may know.

Let us know if it helps or not.

no, not what I meant. I can run the tag, but all output is portrait.

That is strange. Like you, I am on ColdFusion 2023 Update 11. When I copy and run your last code, I get the expected result (a PDF in landscape format - attached).

Further thoughts:

The message "Error adding PDF Service Manager" makes me think that your ColdFusion installation might have 2 PDF Service Managers on the go.
Go to the PDF Service page of the Administrator and rule this out. If there is a second PDF Service Manager there, delete it.
Go to Package Manager > Available Packages in the Administrator. If there are document-related packages available for installation, install them.
