I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish using the echo. I've only been doing this for a few years, but I think the echo won't set the printer. We usually use pre-defined drivers with pcl or a script to do this.
Here is an example of a few lines from a script to setup a printer for landscape. We have an iteractive menu driven script for our end users to direct and print files.
