Chapters 3 and 4 of the CUPS Software Users Manual tells you all one needs to know about using lpoptions to set options. However, you need to read the two chapters together.

The best way to set printer options is through the CUPS web interface (localhost:631) , then go to the printer and use the configuration tab. -- ======================================================================= Leave bigotry in your quarters; there's no room for it on the bridge. -- Kirk, "Balance of Terror", stardate 1709.2 ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
