[cups.general] discovering printer options

[angel bosch]

i recommend you gtklp.

you also can substitute lp for gtklp (or kprinter or whatever) on
"printer commnd" on every program you use to print.

see you.

But when I look at the lp man pages, forget it; only a small fraction of my printers options are documented.  CUPS doesn't even give me the capability to do something as simple as instructing lp to use the manual feed tray instead of the default.
