Printer settings using CUPS 1.3.7 (RHEL 5)

[Shannon Adams]

Pat,

Thanks a bunch for the reply.  I typed the following command as root:
"lpoptions -p mc035 -o landscape=3Dtrue"

Then, I tried to print another job to mc035 and it came out portrait.  Any ideas?  By the way, where does it store these changes (like setting orientation to landscape, etc.)?

Best regards,
Shannon
