How about the O/S and printer identities, so we know what sort of lp configuration to look at?
There are specific options, sometimes depending on the printer type and driver, for defaulting and requesting the portrait/landscape mode. There are even command sequences you can prefix to the lp stream, if you know what fits the destination printer.

papstatus
PAPSTATUS(8) Netatalk 2.2 PAPSTATUS(8)
NAME
papstatus - get the status of an AppleTalk-connected printer
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/papstatus [-d] [-p printer] [retrytime]
DESCRIPTION
papstatus is used to obtain the current status message from an AppleTalk connected printer. It uses the Printer Access Protocol (PAP) to
obtain the status information.
If no printer is specified on the command line, papstatus looks for a file called .paprc in the current directory and reads it to obtain
the name of a printer. The .paprc file should contain a single line of the form object:type@zone where each of object, :type, and @zone are
optional. type and zone must be proceeded by `:' and `@' respectively. Blank lines and lines the begin with a `#' are ignored. type and
zone default to LaserWriter and the zone of the local host, respectively.
OPTIONS
-d
Turns on a debugging mode that prints some extra information to standard error.
-p printer
Get status from printer (do not consult any .paprc files to find a printer name). The syntax for printer is the same as discussed above
for the .paprc file.
retrytime
Normally, papstatus only gets the status from the printer once. If retrytime is specified, the status is obtained repeatedly, with a
sleep of retrytime seconds between inquiring the printer.
FILES
.paprc
file that contains printer name
