lpoptions ignored

I've set several options for my printer in /etc/cups/lpoptions
on localhost for example :
Dest my_printer page-left=24 page-right=24 prettyprint=true

But these options (prettyprint) are ignored when I print standard ouput from localhost :
ls | lpr -P my_printer

I've also tried to pass the prettyprint option to lpr with -o prettyprint=true
but I still have the same problem, all options are ignored.

The only way to print standard output with option prettyprint is to use
ls | a2ps -E -P my_printer
which pretty prints correctly

Thanks in advance for help
