You know what I just noticed -- The printer definition below mistakenly
has "-o PageSize=Letter".  This is an invalid option for a dot matrix
printer.  I wonder if that's affecting it?


/usr/local/cups/sbin/lpadmin \
-p bbj \
-D "Tally T6215 dot matrix in Printer Room (far right)" \
-L "Printer room" \
-m textonly.ppd \
-v socket://172.27.131.152:9100 \
-o job-sheets-default=standard,none \
-o PageSize=Letter \
-E
