Thanks for the tip but this didn't work.

By the way, lpoptions on the client works but only when printing from the terminal.  We print through the OS X apps so this method won't work for us.

Do I need to write a backend filter to get this working using IPP?  If it's doable, I'll have a look at the documentation.
