[STR New]

I have since discovered that it is possible to create the queue with these
options, but I haven't found a way to modify it after the fact, e.g.

  $ lpadmin -p pr1 ... -o HPOption_Duplexer=True -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble
....

Is there any way to make lpoptions modify the man page the way that
lpadmin and the web interface do?

I think that the lpoptions man pages should document the behavior where
given "A/B: *C D E", A is the option and B is the description. Or perhaps
the 'lpoptions -l' output could make this clear, e.g.

 Option: HPOption_Duplexer
 Description: Duplex Unit
 Current: False
 Values: True False

 Option: Duplex
 Description: 2-Sided Printing
 Current: None
 Values: None DuplexNoTumble DuplexTumble
