cups and lp (cups lp)

[arnaud]

Hello,


I try with lot kind of simple files, and also made by : vi.
The a2ps command run good and also lp but, I don't understand why the -o (options cpi/lpi) doesn't work at all

What in the setup can be wrong ?

I'm on Sparc Sun Solaris 10 with the cups release 1.1.21
