It's because you have either a user default or a system default for the landscape option. (You mentioned you had checked the system default in your message, and that it was set to Portrait -- but I will include the method for checking that again here for the benefit of others reading this thread.) To see if it is a user default, run 'lpoptions -p queuename' -- it will show the list of user defaults for that printer. To change those defaults, use the lpoptions command (e.g. lopoptions -p queuename -r landscape'). To sef if it is a system default, start the System->Administration->Printing tool and select the printer. Go to the Job Options tab and look at the Orientation option (under 'Common Options'). > The cups Users Manual under orientation only shows how to print landscape: "lpr > -o landscape". I therefore assumed analogously that you could use "portrait" > obviously without effect and "landscape=false" wasn't even mentioned. The 'landscape' option is a true/false (Boolean) type. '-o landscape' is the same as '-o landscape=true'. Tim. */
