After some trouble with getting the JobId I have the next problem now. 
SetJob will bring a ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED error. Why do I need more rights 
than Administrator rights to set the printer orientation? I need to 
change the paper orientation temporarily inside that print job only and 
it must be possible for every normal user and for Win95 to WinXP.
