.br
-Specifies which pages to print in the document. The list can contain a

-\fBnot\fR case-sensitive.
+Sets the page size to \fIsize\fR. Most printers support at least
+the size names "a4", "letter", and "legal".
+.TP 5
+-o landscape
+.TP 5
+-o orientation-requested=4
+.br
+Prints the job in landscape (rotated 90 degrees).

+.br
+Scales the print file to fit on the page.

+.TP 5
+-o cpi=N
+.br

+text file. The default is 10.
+.TP 5
+-o lpi=N
+.br

+.TP 5
+-o page-bottom=N
+.TP 5
+-o page-left=N
+.TP 5
+-o page-right=N
+.TP 5
+-o page-top=N
+.br
+Sets the page margins when printing text files. The values are in

+.fi
+.LP
+Print an image across 4 pages:
+.nf
+ lp -d bar -o scaling=200 filename
+.fi
.LP
-The "m" option is not functional in CUPS 1.1.
+Print a text file with 12 characters per inch, 8 lines per inch, and
+a 1 inch left margin:
+.nf
+ lp -d bar -o cpi=12 -o lpi=8 -o page-left=72 filename
+.fi
+.SH COMPATIBILITY
+Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to
+contain any printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/", or "#".
+Also, printer and class names are \fInot\fR case-sensitive.

The "q" option accepts a different range of values than the
-Solaris lp command, matching the IPP job priority values (1-100)
-instead of the Solaris values (0-39).
-.SH NOTES
-Administrators wishing to prevent unauthorized cancellation of
-jobs via the \fI-u\fR option should password-protect the /jobs
-location in \fIcupsd.conf(5)\fR.
