LP Options list

Is there a good resource that lists all the -o options for lp? Man pages only
list 7 or 8 standard -o options and I would like to know the rest.

Re: LP Options list

The options available depend on the printer and the model script it uses, which
is why they aren't listed in the man page for lp. If you have JetDirect
installed, you can do a man on the printer model itself for info on the
available options, like this:

# man net_lj4x

To get the original model name, look at the 3rd comment of the model file in
/etc/lp/interface/model.orig

Re: LP Options list

I am also interested to know about it. I am using
Jetadmin and HP laserjet 4si. Normally I prefer the option -o2 to print two
pages within one single paper
but I want to know how can I print page number on the
papers? I looked into "man net_lj4x" but found nothing related to the page
number.
