HPUX: Printing Using "lp"

[LG Porter]

Using the "lp" command, what is the syntax for printing a document landscape?

[Scott Van Kalken]

lp -d -o landscape


or

lp -o landscape -d printer

[A. Clay Stephenson · Accepted solution]

In general though only your interface file knows for sure, it's:
lp -dmyprinter -o landscape myfile

You really have to examine your interface file in /var/spool/lp/interface to know for sure.

Hi,

Use the '-o landscape' option:

# lp -o landscape -dprinter_name

HTH,

[Michael Tully]

-o landscape

[Sanjay_6]

Hi,

As already suggested, use,

lp -o landscape -dprinter_name

Hope this helps.

lp -dprinter_name -o landscape filename

The answers presented are accurate UNLESS the printer is not attached to your HP-UX box (ie, a remote PC running NT or another Unix box). In that case, the -o options are ignored by the remote system.
