problem with scaling

[Steven Sweet]

This is a great question.

First thing to note is that the scaling option only works with images.

Is this an image? If so, what's the extension on it?

In order for the example below to work you need to do one of two things:

1) Use -o after each option
    lpr -o landscape -o scaling=50 testpage

---or---

2) Use quotes (single/double) around entire command:
    lpr -o 'landscape natural-scaling=50' testpage






>   I am trying to use the scaling or the natural-scaling options without success.  The page that is being printed comes out without any scaling at all.  The command I've tried is: lpr -o 'landscape natural-scaling=50' testpage  and I've also tried lpr -o landscape scaling=50 testpage
