You may be suffering from Microsoftitis. In products such as 
Microsoft Word, page orientation is a printer setting, but in 
OpenOffice it is - more sensibly in my estimation - treated as an 
aspect of the page style, set at Format | Page... | Page | Paper 
format | Orientation. I'm guessing that you will have set this 
correctly, as otherwise you would not be seeing your four columns 
correctly in the editing display.

But you still need to tell your printer that you need the document 
printed in landscape orientation. You do this at File | Printer 
Settings ... | Properties..., or alternatively on the fly at File | 
Print... | General | Properties... .

I trust this helps.
