Hi Stephen;
Spent a large part of yesterday on this problem. Here's what I got.

I created a text file with gedit called test1 containing two lines of
nonsense text.
Then tried:
]$ lpr -P psc-1310-series---1 -o media=Custom.396x612pt ~/test1
My printer loaded the half sheet of letter sized paper and ejected it
properly but no text printed.
In order to chase down the problem, I printed 'test1' using gedit with
the print gui tab Paper: => Paper size: Custom, Width: 396, Length: 612,
Points, Feed orientation: Straight, Page orientation: Portrait, Layout:
Plain.
test1 printed as it should. (Well, not quite. There was random
quotation marks (") spread throughout the text.)
Tried:
]$ lpr ~/test1
Printed as it should have on a full letter sized sheet.
Tried:
]$lpr -P psc-1310-series---1 -o landscape -o media=Custom.396x612pt
~/test1
Printed correctly as a half sheet of letter in landscape mode.
Tried -l and -o raw
]$ lpr -P psc-1310-series---1 -o raw -o media=Custom.396x612pt ~/test1
Nothing.
