landscape setting but still portrait

Question

So I`m trying to get a landscape page mid document (to print 6 figures in one row) and was following the instructions of this article.
Here is code fragment.

\documentclass[parskip=full, oneside]{scrreprt}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage[]{typearea}
\title{hello}
% DOCUMENT 
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\newpage
\KOMAoptions{paper=landscape, paper=A4, pagesize}
\recalctypearea
\chapter{Findings}
\blindtext
\end{document}

The landscape part of the PDF looks like this: Now to my problem: As you can see, it seems to still be in portrait mode (left and right empty spaces). Is there a setting I am missing? I work with TeXstudio 4.1.1 (git 4.1.1) Using Qt Version 6.2.1, compiled with Qt 6.2.1 R. Operating system is macOS.

The pages are the right size; it just isn't recalculating the type area using the right settings. Try adding DIV=current. For other options, see the KOMA-script documentation, page 39.

\KOMAoptions{paper=landscape, paper=A4, pagesize, DIV=current}

You can remove \recalctypearea. The type area is already recalculated because of DIV=.... Also paper=A4 and pagesize can be removed. They are default. – esdd Apr 07 '22 at 09:18
