MATLAB R2016a Failing to print Properly.

I have two different computers using MATLAB R2016a, and both fail to print a figure properly whenever I go into the system print dialog box (not matlab's print dialog, aka Print Preview) to change the figure to landscape. I know I could use the "Print Preview" styling and StyleSheet option, but I technically shouldn't have to.
What happens when I print it in portrait is that the figure comes out fine and is scaled to fit the page properly.
However, what happens when I select landscape in the system dialog box, is that the figure becomes unscaled (uses screen size instead, I think) and becomes uncentered and cropped.
This was never a problem with R2013b as one of the computers experiencing this issue has other computers build just like it that are running R2013b.
I am assuming that part of this issue has to do with MATLAB's recent full switch over to opengl, which although is nice, is inconvenient in some cases.
So the question is this:
Is there any way to set matlab up so that it scales the figure to fit the selected system dialog setting, regardless of whether it is portrait or landscape, without the need of going into "Print Preview"?
I am quite familiar with programming, so if I need to go into a matlab library *.m file and edit it, I know what I am doing for the most part. In all honesty, this looks like a simple programming error on MathWorks' part, but that should have been caught in a beta test, shouldn't it have?
If you need any picture examples of what is going on, let me know.
