[cups.general] Printing from Java to local printer fails

[Michael Sweet]

Sun's IPP implementation does not conform to the spec, and they error out when they see a "noValue" value for orientation-requested-default. Do:

    lpadmin -p printer -o orientation-requested-default=3

to set a default (portrait) until Sun fixes their IPP implementation.
