Hi George,
I don't have the facilities to test your issue, but a quick search suggests reading the CUPS man pages.

Selecting the Media Size, Type, and Source

The -o media=xyz option sets the media size, type, and/or source:
  • lp -o media=Letter filename ENTER lp -o media=Letter,MultiPurpose filename ENTER lpr -o media=Letter,Transparency filename ENTER lpr -o media=Letter,MultiPurpose,Transparency filename ENTER
The available media sizes, types, and sources depend on the printer, but most support the following options (case is not significant):
  • Letter - US Letter (8.5x11 inches, or 216x279mm)
  • Legal - US Legal (8.5x14 inches, or 216x356mm)
  • A4 - ISO A4 (8.27x11.69 inches, or 210x297mm)
  • COM10 - US #10 Envelope (9.5x4.125 inches, or 241x105mm)
  • DL - ISO DL Envelope (8.66x4.33 inches, or 220x110mm)
  • Transparency - Transparency media type or source
  • Upper - Upper paper tray
  • Lower - Lower paper tray
  • MultiPurpose - Multi-purpose paper tray
  • LargeCapacity - Large capacity paper tray
Hope that might point you in the right direction.

David

NAME
system-config-printer-applet - print job manager SYNOPSIS
system-config-printer-applet [--help] [--version] [--debug] DESCRIPTION
system-config-printer-applet is a print job manager for CUPS. Normally it will display a printer icon in the notification area, greyed out when there are no print jobs for the current user. Clicking on the icon displays a simple print job manager for cancelling or reprinting jobs. To save memory, the applet waits first of all until the user has printed a job before putting the icon in the notification area. To invoke the print job manager before a job has been printed, run the applet with the --no-tray-icon option: a desktop file is provided for this, so that it should appear in the system menu. As well as displaying a printer icon in the notification area, the applet also provides a D-BUS server for the com.redhat.PrintDriverSelection interface, to help configure a new printer when it is plugged in. OPTIONS
--help Display a short usage message. --version Display the version of the applet. --debug Show debugging information. AUTHOR
