No, lpoptions works that way, but not lpadmin.

You can use "-o media=A4" because the media option is mapped to PPD
keywords (PageSize/PageRegion, InputSlot, and MediaType).

To set default options using lpadmin, add "-default" to the name,
e.g.:

     lpadmin -p printer -o landscape-default=true -o cpi-default=13

In the case of landscape, however, use orientation-requested-default=4
instead:

     lpadmin -p printer -o orientation-requested-default=4
