Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

can't you use your portrait script?
Option is -olandscape

hi

Indeed

Normal script

-olandscape or -oportrait

-oc

Its compressed

Else you use a script - check for the landscape option and put it on by default

if [ "$orientation" = "l" ] # If orientation is landscape

Thus set orientation="l" instead of
orientation="def"

I added the following after the "landscape)" clause in the printer driver script-

lpr) # print in landscape 66lpp/132cols
orientation="l"
pitch="c"
textlen="66"
lpi="def"
hsi="9"
vsi="5";;

Addendum-

To use my new option would be-

lp -olpr myfile

I chamged the orientation to "l" in the script and it failed.

I have attached the landscape script.

Hi

from your script:

portrait) # print in portrait mode
orientation="l";;
landscape) # print in landscape mode
orientation="l";;

You should check it
