[STR New]
Right now if I run "lpoptions -o optionName" it replaces the current option
with "true". I would expect cups to return the option's value.
Right now the man page says:
-o option[=value]
Specifies a new option for the named destination.
I think the best fix would be to make "-o optionName" return the value of
the option, but this would break backwards compatibility.
Another option would just be to clarify the man page. This keeps
backwards compatibility, but keeps a behavior that I don't think is
useful.
