lpstat option order changes functionality

[Dean Barnes]

I am trying to determine if this problem I am having is a bug or whether the results I am getting are correct.

First some background. I am using RHEL5 with cups-1.2.4-11.14.el5.

I get the same results on RHEL3 with cups-1.1.17-13.3.43

If I type in the following:
#>lpstat -p -l
printer HP4600B is idle.  enabled since Tue 30 Sep 2008 03:49:55 PM NDT
printer HP5SiB is idle.  enabled since Wed 15 Oct 2008 09:40:40 AM NDT
printer HP9050F is idle.  enabled since Tue 04 Nov 2008 02:22:50 PM NST
printer HP9050I is idle.  enabled since Tue 30 Sep 2008 04:26:22 PM NDT

Please note the order of the options for the above lpstat command

Now if I change the order of options to the following I get something different.

#>lpstat -l -p

Is this suppose to be the functionality of lpstat? I would have assumed that order did not matter, but in this case it does. Can someone confirm whether this is a "feature" or a bug?
