CLI vs WebInterface - different outcome

[Helge Blischke]

I think you'd have to specify the defaults you want to use. See the
-o name=value parameters to lpadmin. If I'm correct, this does what
you do when "configuring" a printer using the web interface.

However, when printing a "Test Page" from the web interface, it's still using the Legal size paper instead of the 8x11 paper. Perhaps it's the true nature for the "Test Page", I don't know.
