lpr landscape

Hi


Can anybody tell me how to configure my printer to handle lpr -o landscape? Or what I need to do to print a text file in landscape format using the lpr command.

Thanks
Monique

It depends on the printer and the printer driver.

The options your printer supports are (usually) in

/etc/lp/interface

There will be a file with same same name as the printer you are trying to use, read the file.
