The output has the following syntax:

   main-keyword/translation-string: option-keyword option-keyword ...

The default setting is marked with an '*' preceding the "option-keyword".

To set particular printer-specific options via command line
use the "-o main-keyword=option-keyword" syntax like in

   lp -d RICOH_Aficio_MP_9000 -o InputSlot=3Tray -o OutputBin=FinShift

Regarding "main-keyword", "translation-string", and "option-keyword"
see the "Adobe PostScript Printer Description File Format Specification"
or you may have a look at some shorter description like "PPD Files" in
