lp command can't change cpi

Dear all,
I have tried to use the following command to print report to a laser printer:
lp -d<printer name> -p6 -o cpi=17 <file name>
lp -d<printer name> -p6 -ocpi=17 <file name>
but it doesn't change the cpi to 17.
May I know what is the problem or is there any solutions?
Thanks!
